This is not something I'm inclined to do.

We can just agree to disagree. No one has to share my views, and I respect your own opinion of the situation. We're both Rockets fans.

I'm sorry, but you have to treat your players with respect.

Lin and Asik are not players that are scrubs, they're decent to above average at the very least.

LOL ok

Was I wrong? Did Houston not get slapped around by Aldridge?

So you type in "LOL" as if it did not happen?

You don't remember this LOL worthy moment?

..Cause I do.

LOL.

I was actually talking bout your first sentence about how free agents shouldnt consider Houston based on this Lin situation.

Plus you are a Raptors fan. Enjoy being mediocre in the weak East for years to come.

Those who think this is acceptable merely because Melo is a better player than Lin are those who think janitors and cleaning ladies don't deserve the same treatment/respect as those they are cleaning after. It's definitely a sign of character.

100% agree.

People say it's okay because "it's only Lin". Wow.

Treating your best point guard on the team with such disrespect like that.... It doesn't matter player A is better than player B. Its about treating your players who work their asses off for you with respect. Lin made the second biggest sacrifice to the team by coming off the bench. Now you want to bash the guy who didn't do anything wrong but be loyal to the team? SMH

Beverley worst than Lin? LOL GTFO

The only thing Beverly has over Lin is defense. Do you even notice how bad the Rocket's offense is when Harden is on the floor? No ball movement and passes to his teammates the last second before the shot clock expires. Beverly's skills as a playermaker is NOTHING compared to Lin. Do me a favor and look up the definition of a point guard.

Your clear bias against Lin has fogged your ability to see that no other team in the league would start Beverley over Lin.

So Lin is the definition of a PG? He is overrated and LOF's like you overrated. I would rather have Beverley and his defense than Lin 10 times out of 10.

This is not even the same thing. I'm sure rockets like Lin, but he clearly is not part of the rockets plans in the future. I suppose you think trading a player would be considered disrespectful as well.

People are making too much of a big deal about this.

That's a great argument you have there.

Lin has a right to be insulted. Very classless move to "give" Melo the guy's number when he's already on the team. Houston couldn't give the cat another number on their hype package? Smh

Agreed, whether you like Lin or not they should treat the guy with some decency. If they wanted to use his number for the billboards, then why not discuss it with Lin and make him feel okay with it. I know Houston is a chasing the big stars, but they notice the way other guys get treated, and in life treated those who work for you or have less talent than you can and usually does come back on you.

How am I bias towards Lin? It's my opinion to say that he is an average player. Beverley is average too, but I'd rather than Beverley with his very good defense and limited offense than Lin.

What you said isn't even remotely accurate.

Jeremy Lin has been a Rocket for two years, and is still under contract with them.

Carmelo Anthony is a player they covet, and if they wish to acquire him they will probably have to trade Lin.

Putting Lin's number up on a billboard hyping their hopes of signing Carmelo is an unnecessary slap in the face to one of their own. Lin knows he might be traded if they want to sign Melo. I'm sure he's accepted that, whether he likes it or not - trades are not a sign of disrespect, they are part of the business. How roster moves (or potential ones) are managed are where the lines of respect or disrespect are drawn, and the Rockets find themselves on the wrong side of the line here.
