Rockets Signs Lin

[rocketseagles07]

I rather the Knicks match.

Pretty much.....

[Mr. E]

It is still the same thing as Asik, where we'll be paying 8/8,5/8.5 right?

[adrenaLINe]

I rather the Knicks match.

Id rather have a team people actually will want to watch play next year...

LOL

[zapatasblood]

LOL lets stick with status quo LOL

Houston will successfully continue to be the contender of Asian market if this deal goes through. Great business move. Congratulations on acquiring a defensively incapable point guard with unproven overall skills. Has good IQ though. Maybe he will help his teammates graduate from open-universities or online courses.

Defensively incapable? Why do people keep parroting this nonsense. Lin's defense is above avg for a point guard. He blocked D-Rose and picked his pockets 3x and held him to a horrible fg%. Shut down Jennings at the end of the Bucks game. Averaged over 2 steals per game.

The times he looked bad was mostly due to Amare not picking up his roll man off the pick-n-rolls and that's not really Lin's fault. People just look at the box score and assume since the opposing guard scored a lot, it must be Lin's fault. Deron Williams had a big game against Lin but he was getting double screens from his teammates and chucking 3's it's not like he was driving on Jeremy or abusing him 1 on 1.

Funny thing is when Lin was bench warming at Golden State, his DEFENSE was one of the few things they praised him for.

yes Knicks were doing a lot of switching with "STATUE" errr Amare

Lin was forcing low FG% on players when they did not have him switch off... and Amare started to play better D....

like picking up the opposing guard on a pick and roll

Amare Stoudamire's Pick n Roll Defense is F#CKED

What could this mean? Do not want Lin specially at that price

[Stannis]

James Dolan is not going to let Lin go. Even if the luxury tax means he is going to lose, he is not going to let the Rocket's gain from the Lin sensation.

The Knicks are considering signing UFA Raymond Felton and letting RFA Jeremy Lin walk to the Rockets, a source close to situation confirms

Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
Report in NC that Raymond Felton reached agreement with Knicks untrue. Knicks, Felton's rep are talking, source close to discussions said

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN
As Knicks wait for Jeremy Lin offer sheet they have had talks with (cheaper alternative) Raymond Felton. The plot thickens

as a returning Rox Fan...and the multitude of fans that will be coming..

"If" Rox sign Lin...

we dont care what you think...

[adrenaLINe]

Lin will be the face of the franchise... and the number 1 option...

[Stannis]

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley
Raymond Felton's agent, Tony Dutt, says that #Knicks are in talks to acquire Felton. If Knicks don't sign Lin, they could get Felton in S&T.

Alan Hahn ‏@alanhahn
What is true is Felton has always been on the radar as a Plan B for both Nash/Kidd but also Lin. Still don’t see Knicks letting Lin go.

God help us! Wait as the number 1 option this will make my hopes of tanking easier

[Stannis]

Lot of tweets coming from sources saying the Knicks are going to S&T for Felton and let Lin become a Rocket.

[Mr. E]

Anyone else see some report that the Knicks are refusing to receive the Rockets offer? Stalling?

[Guy986]

Oh shat, morey you fuked up. Lin isnt a real pg and isnt worth 15 mill on his 3rd year. I rather have dragic back.
