The Rockets should just trade Lin

[OptimusOne6]

It's getting sickening watching Lin play for the Rockets. I really wanted the Knicks to match his contract because he was going to go to the Rockets if they didn't. They're simply not a good organization or an organization that an NBA player would want to play for. What makes things more difficult now is the fact that he has to play with James Harden who is by far the biggest ball-stopper in the NBA.

I really do think Kevin Mchale is trying to blackball Lin out of the league. It's sickening watching him and the rest of the coaching staff purposely bench Lin in closing seconds and make him play low minutes just so they can get him out of the league. Most of the time when they have benched him in late minutes, they have lost, but tonight they happened to have won when benching him.

They should just trade him so Harden can get a better fit and so Lin can actually be Lin but I suppose when you are trying to destroy someone's career, you don't want to get rid of him until he is completely worthless.

Lakers will be the best fit

It could happen^. He'd be a hell of a bench scorer for L.A. until he develops into their starter.

You really think that the coaches are trying to get Lin out of the league? If he doesn't get minutes its prolly cause he's simply not good enough. Fanhood for single players takes people down odd avenues.

There is no good trade between Houston and the Lakers.

Unless the secret plan is to develop Tony Douglas, I dont see why Lin didn't play that 4th. He had a pretty good game going, played good defense on Rondo, etc.

Lakers has no assets. Only want Hill and Meeks from that roster.

[deliriousmouse]

Houstin are probably happy with all the $$$ he racks in

He's a decent PG, people talk of him like he's Johnny Flynn FFS. Sure in a handful of teams he owuld be the Backup Guard however we're talking about a guy not 60 games into his career yet.

His productivity could be better if They were not so harden Reliant however thats how it is. Remember he did cop a bad knee injury last year as well, maybe the fitness and mobility isnt all right there

1. To be fair, Toney Douglas right now for this month is shooting 3's at an OJ Mayo percentage, and has now scored double figures in his last six games. He might actually belong in this league at some capacity.
2. We're not trading Lin because at the end of the day, our backcourt is really, really thin. Daequan Cook is nominally our backup SG behind Harden, and he sucks. Scott Machado is the 3rd string PG. Lin is good enough to be a rotation player, and we're not trading him so soon we could somehow upgrade the backcourt in the process. That simple. The Lakers in particular would be of no help - we would need a PG if we traded Lin far more than we would need a PF right now.

lin and parsons (+money filler) for gasol straight up

As long as the Rockets win I'm not going to make a big gripe about it, however he didn't play a bad game and is a better defender than Douglas imo so I don't know what's up. I wouldn't mind for them to experiment him coming off the bench as the commentators alluded to as well.

[JustAwesome]

I missed the part about why McHale wants Lin out of the NBA.

You meant Dwight Howard, right?

....no.

Rockets can prolly do better then Pau Freaking Gasol for that.
