Let's trade Lin 

Post#1 » by victorhe » Thu Oct 31, 2013 11:15 pm

Why do we want to trade Lin?
- He still has some values. When Lin is a bench player, he is going to have worse stats.
- Beverly can run the offense just as good and without a high salary like Lin. Why do we still want to keep Lin, it's not like Houston is not already paying a lot money to big stars like Harden and Howard.
- Mchale does not trust Lin, so Lin's value will further go down. I'll say trade him and exchange for a serviceable pf.

Sure, if they want to toss their championship hopes away, go for it! Both Lin and Asik will be an integral part for the Rockets this year to succeed.

lin is the closest thing we have to a true pg, why trade that away? u dont want harden to become a pass first sg when he can drop 30 on any game. beverley hasnt proven to have any good pg skills. in the playoffs he avg'd twice as many rebounds he did assists. and brooks is a score first pg.

we paid him all that money, why not let him develop? its not like he's been in the league for 5 years and hit his ceiling when he signed him. its very reasonable that he can make big improvements to his game. not saying he can be an elite pg but he can be a solid starting pg.

PATIENCE!

Lin for Gordon Hayward? He could be the starter there over Trey Burke. Although I would feel terrible making Jeremy have to live in SLC.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Beverley can not run the offense and this team needs Lin since he is the only other ball handler and playmaker.

We're going to get in trouble with the ASPCA because of all of this dead horse beating.

Bargnani love primo pasta?

Come on, Bargnani and Howard were both #1 picks overall!

Continue the Yao legacy of #1 pick centers!

Edit: almost forgot Hakeem!

We can trademark this the 4 horseman or some crap.... Hakeem, Yao, Dwight, PRIMO!
