No one knew for sure then what Lin might become, but the rebuilding Rockets decided it was worth $25 million to find out, and landed Lin when the Knicks refused to match the offer.

As it happened, the Rockets also landed rising star James Harden a few months later, a move that immediately reduced the need for Lin's best talents

[Doranku]

As long as he ends up ANYWHERE else outside of LA, I'll be happy.

Taking Byron Scott in any scenario over Jeremy Lin is a major fatal mistake.

[Taller than CP3]

didn't they already give his number away to Melo. what's done is done, Lin would be an idiot to resign and help the team that literally gave his identity away.

[Bobcats2013]

I would to see Lin in Detroit.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Rockets would be dumbasses if they signed this guy back.

[RightTwoCensor]

So you're telling me Houston is about to take the Lakers' best player again? Man that's pathetic.

DAMN. LA fans, hold this L.

[coin24]

As long as he's off the lakers I don't care. He's a piece of shit, great for losing games though:lol

LOL? Best player who dropped 0/6 FG last night. Please do...
Btw hows Dwight :lol been MIA for a while

[UK2K]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Houaton is full of Asians

[Eric Cartman]

Don't see why the Rockets wouldn't bring him back in a reserve role. He knows the system, yes he's shit in many aspects but can contribute.

[Levity]

Yes, please take him back. He also comes with an abundance of LOF's

[Genaro]

As long as he ends up ANYWHERE else outside of LA, I'll be happy.
Nah, he can play for the Clippers and I would be fine with it.

DAMN


RIP Lakers Fans... some of you will be missed but not many.

[KungFuJoe]

Oh hell no I don't want him back in Houston.

Better to stay in LA if possible and be part of the rebuild. Obviously he makes much less money but he's still one of the best backup PGs in the game.

Houston needs another playmaker though. Lin and Parsons leaving left a hole that Harden has been having to fill by himself night in and night out.

But no. Houston is a shithole of a franchise with two idiots in Morey and McHale running the show.

Morey isn't really an idiot, he's just too smart for his own good. Can't see the forest for the trees type of dude.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Lin sucks, but at least he's better than Autism Rivers.

[oh the horror]

You kids need to up your testosterone if that's the "ether" you think you're bringing to anyone around here.


Calling Jeremy Lin the "best player" even as a joke isn't a good look. He's a hair away from playing in China.



Houston willing to resign the guy is....odd. He does not play championship basketball. Guy has NO spine.

[KungFuJoe]

That makes him an idiot in my book. A truly smart person sees all the angles. Morey just looks at stats like a retard looks at a shiny ball.

[Funnyfuka]

lin is only in the nba to be the token asian guy... he s not a good or great player, just ...the token asian guy.

LMAO so off base.

[freshperry]

I genuinely think Lin is better then Dellavedova

[screeningnick]

I genuinely think Lin is better then Dellavedova


I'm sorry but if you genuinely think Lin is better then Delly you're either don't understand basketball or a LOF.

[freshperry]

I'm sorry but if you genuinely think Lin is better then Delly you're either don't understand basketball or a LOF.

Enlighten me please. The way I see it, no one respects Dellavedova's offensive game. He doesn't shoot particularly well and literally never beats anyone off the dribble. This gives tremendous advantage to the defence because they can cater their playing style to shut down the other players. I think Lin is very inconsistent and thats why people are particularly harsh on him but in the grand scheme of things, he still has his moments. 0/6 was lin's last game stats and people slam him..... those are basically dellavedova's stats every game....

[COnDEMnED]

You can have him back for a draft pick. :) Lots of FOB's going to jump ship off the Lakers forum.

Still high is the correct wording here, high on PCP

[Kevin Durant]

It's a shame of what Bryon Scott is doing to Jeremy Lin. The Lakers are like a car crash right now. It's terrible, but you can't look away.

[qrich]

So they gave up a first to dump him, but will look to sign him back :oldlol:

But, hey, they have a need for a legit point.


Lin sucks, but at least he's better than Autism Rivers.

No, he really isn't. I wouldn't consider dealing Rivers for Lin in any scenario.

Lin is not that good but i think hes better than Rivers

[Mr Exlax]

Noooooooooo! We don't need those LOFs back. Please god no. He's an idiot if he comes back. McHale is still gonna be the coach. McHale is still gonna bench him for every little mistake. He's still gonna suck.

[Bandito]

Rightfully so. He is just not that good.

[christian1923]

Morey has no idea what he is doing.

[jzek]

He was a great backup to Beverley so :confusedshrug:

[KungFuJoe]

He was a great backup to Beverley so :confusedshrug:

So, Beverley is not a starting caliber PG.

Unfortunately, as much as it pains me to say it, neither is Lin.

But, can you imagine what Lin could do with the way Houston spaces the floors with 3 point shooters? He'd have a wide open lane every single day. No one respects the Lakers 3 point shooters, so defenders clog the lane when Lin is in, taking away his bread and butter (drives to the hoop).

But, no. Lin needs to go elsewhere or stick around in LA for a while.

[Eric Cartman]

He's garbage.

[hawkfan]

He should sign with the Spurs and Pop will make him better.
