:lol: we never have any trouble getting Point Guards. It's big men that don't want to play in Houston anymore. We need to offer them personal coaching Lessons from Olajuwon. Make it so that if you are not a Rocket, he won't coach you at all.

that's honestly a great idea. so simple yet it has not been done! im serious, rockets need to hire Hakeem as the official Rockets big man developmental coach and his services are no longer available to those outside of the rockets organization. GENIUS

Grizzlies waived Ish Smith. Better than Lin?
Neither had great rookie seasons statistically
Ish: 43 games, 2.3ppg, 1.8apg, 1.1rpg, 0.4spg, 37.4%FG, 57.1%FT
Lin: 29 games, 2.6ppg, 1.4apg, 1.2rpg, 1.1spg, 38.9%FG, 76.0%FT

but Ish was a fan favorite with his play here. He didn't get much play in Memphis.
I know we have Lowry, Dragic and Flynn already but one might be traded.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Lin played a good game. I think he can play in the NBA.
