Can't go wrong with a guy who shoots 53% on spot-up threes for the season in Houston's run and gun 3pt galore offensively minded game.

Nah, not until they find someone who can take over for him. Brooks isn't that guy. He's a inconsistent high volume shooter too, so unless they try and bring in a guy like Calderon, trading Lin doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Patrick Beverley would be the player that replaced Lin as the starting PG. A good fit at PG for the Rockets would be a Mario Chalmers type PG, a PG that is designated to shoot and nothing more. I could see the Rockets trading Lin in a sign and trade deal for like Dwight Howard or something, you never know.


Patrick Beverley refused to shoot most of the time.

Rockets love trigger happy guys.

:o

Better fit than Lin alongside Harden. I would consider staggering the Rush Hour backcourt minutes.

What happened?


He went to China during the lockout and his team in China went to the playoffs so he didnt sign after the lockout and he couldnt find a team

Cole has value for his defense. Brooks doesn't play d. Cant imagine the heat would be interested.
