Lin back to NYK, to play the role of MJ in the triangle!

[UK2K]

Lol...

Ouch

[STATUTORY]

:roll: lin might be even more beta than bran, dude gots degraded by his own org on daily basis

serves that ni99a right for leaving nyc

[9512]

First Lin gets pushed out of NYC by memo then Melo wants to join in this new sand pit and wants to kick same guy out.

That serves Lin right for trying to steal a the spotlight of a blackman's sport.

[HurricaneKid]

Well the only way they can sign him is to dump the Lin contract so it makes perfect sense.

He's worse than Chalmers on teh Heat! Are there any alpha Asians? :confusedshrug: I would have said Manny but he doesn't want to fight Mayweather so...

:biggums:

[Mayweather]

Yes. How dare Lin turn down that contract NYK never offered him!!! Manny wouldn't fight me? The ignorance and misinformation in this thread is mind blowing.

[VIntageNOvel]

this is new low,

i wouldnt want to go there if i am melo,
they treat the player as disposable,

compare it to how lakers did with kobe,
he's injured, still paid him more than anyone in the league,

easy to choose if youre superstar

[GimmeThat]

this is the same team that let lowry go then the guy blows up and they wanted to bring him back, right?

[russwest0]

this is the same team that let lowry go then the guy blows up and they wanted to bring him back, right?

Yeah :lol :lol :lol

Morey is a clown.

[pnyozzzoo]

this is the same team that let lowry go then the guy blows up and they wanted to bring him back, right?
The funny shit is If Morey trade Lin to Philly and get melo, they fail again in playoff and Lin blow up in Philly will they beg him to come back for the third time. Like he said LAST TIME "THIS TIME we are going to hold on to him and not let go."rofl

Houston had Dragic, Lowry, Lin, Livingston, all at once, I wonder if Mchale is just that bad at running PG or Morey is that Dumb to let him do it that way.
:roll:

[Mr Exlax]

Man this shit is foul. Low class by my Rockets IMO.

[Rocketswin2013]

Lin is bitching on Twitter right now.

[oh the horror]

Like I said in another thread I find it a bit disrespectful.

[MVBallin2K]

Houston already took on Lin after Linsanity, drained that for as much as they could while promoting Harden and this past season featured him less but enough so they could trade him.

Cold and ruthless, it's business. I don't agree with it but it's plain to see that they wanted him before they got Harden, then he completely just fell out of flavor as more players got added and now they want to trade him away.

[redhonda76]

That's pretty disrespectful. We all know Rockets are going to move Lin but to place his number on another player and advertised that, it is so classless.

[KungFuJoe]

It's either classless or completely stupid.

Which pretty much describes Houston's coaching staff and front office.

[Mr Exlax]

I think we all forgot that Morey didn't want Lin to begin with.

[Beastmode88]

I think lin is overrated but damn that's a slap in the fcuking face. Just flat out disgusting. My lord, what a joke. Morey should be fired, how the fcuk you gonna do your own man like that. :facepalm At least put him in Harden's number.

[HoopDreams247]

Lin is bitching on Twitter right now.

Yeah, quoting a Bible verse about turning the other cheek is definitely "bitching."

[Cocaine80s]

Watch lin get traded and put up dragon/Lowry numbers :roll:

@WojYahooNBA 1m
Houston pre-informed Jeremy Lin of the use of his No. 7 on 'Melo recruiting images, source tells Yahoo Sports.

@WojYahooNBA 1m
If 'Melo comes, Lin has to go in a trade -- which Lin's aware. Given 'Melo-Lin history, understandable why Lin would be sensitive about it.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Jeremy Lin is a better player than Carmelo.
not indivudually but for team success.
he will be the third best PG in the league behind Paul and Westbrick the moment he joins a team that lets him play a real PG role like he did in New York.
Dude improved so much and is already a top 3 passer and defender at the PG position

Lins own fault for joining this POS organisation that cut him on Christmas eve one month prior to Linsanity.
Lin is better than Harden but they sabotaged his career to promote"the beard" aka the most worthless POS in the NBA

[Jameerthefear]

Lol @ Lin :roll:

Nevermind

‏@WojYahooNBA 8s
Spoke to Lin's agents, Jim Tanner/Roger Montgomery, who say that Houston did NOT inform Lin that the No. 7 would be used for Melo images.


Ouch. Rockets are likely going to strike out on Melo and Lin will def want out...wonder who the PG of the future is...might be Lowry.

[YouGotServed]

lol Poor Lin.

Stone cold man, stone cold :coleman:

[moe94]

It's extra bad because Melo was salty over Lin's success in NY and felt he wasn't worth the contract he got with the Rockets and was actually cold and distant towards him in NY. I feel bad for Lin. Just wow.

And fvck Melo

My lord did u just say he's top 3...? Tony parker, damian lillard are chop liver? Linsanity was a one hit wonder. Exposed vs miami when cole, chalmers and bran pooped on him and he only scored 2 points. :facepalm

[Draz]

Yes. How dare Lin turn down that contract NYK never offered him!!! Manny wouldn't fight me? The ignorance and misinformation in this thread is mind blowing.
Knicks informed him they'll match any offer. He went back to the Rockets to get an upgrade on the offer only to see if Knicks would then update the offer and match rockets.

Snake move.

[UK2K]

Marlo is back?

Nooooooooo.

Here comes the 'lin is the best pg in history talk'

[MUGEN]

Disrespectful :facepalm Not a good look Rockets.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Morrey, aka obese Clown, will look like a fool again once Lin blows up the second he gets sent away from the Rockets for a second time.
Lin will lead his new team like a boss while Melo and Hogden will fight each other for the ball:applause:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

I'm sorry but that's just hilarious :roll: :roll: :roll:

such a dick move

[ElPigto]

For the record they pulled the same stunt when they were recruiting Chris Bosh and Scola was still on the team. Scola is an alpha male though so he really didn't care.
