What if the Rockets had kept Jeremy Lin instead of Harden?

Parsons/Ariza
Terry/stud vet FA
Lin/Bev/Prig

Harden and Lin have the same style of game, but Lin makes his teammates BETTER. Harden is not a born leader. Harden is a Melo. Great scorers who don't make his teammates better.

Harden: Inconsistent AF in the playoffs (38, 17, 45, 14)
TO Machine (averaged 4 for the season and all time record tonight)
Passive (only 11 shots tonight. Jason Terry and Brewer were more involved all game)

If Lin had gotten the same opportunity and support from the Rockets that Harden got I'm certain he'd be the better player right now.Not to mention the cap would allow Houston to get a better SG and more depth.

Harden is a massive choker, but let's not get crazy here.

I'm not knocking Harden's game,

Attacking the basket, playmaking, Pick n rolls are what Lin and Harden do best.


But Lin is 8 against the cap, and Harden is a max.

[el_locoteee]

First round exit.

[Mrofir]

It's a good thing the Thunder got rid of him. That core was destined for mediocrity.

Lakers were good this year.

[bluechox2]

lin would have turned up the linsanity

[Lebron23]

Lin failed to led the Lakers in the playoffs. And he out played by a Rookie.

Lol that Lakers squad was garbage in a historically strong western conference.

[HOoopCityJones]

The same Lin who got his spot taken by the 46th pick All rookie Jordan Clarkson?

[uber]

Simple. We be talkin bout Lin vs Bron now.

Well at least he could say Jordan took his spot. Doesn't sound too bad.

[imnew09]

Weak troll. Parson only played 1 or 2 games in the playoff.. Osik doesnt wanna be a back up, dwight was injured most of the season.....,, 3 failed there alrdy
If youre asian your family wouldve disowned you by now

[Real Men Wear Green]

What if the Rockets had kept Jeremy Lin instead of Harden?They'd have missed the playoffs. And?

[disel]

Damn this guy is delusional:lol harden carried the rox to the conference finals where in the run they finished 2nd in the west, won their division against the likes of the Spurs, Memphis, Dallas and the Pelicans.

Stupidity has no limits.What a insult to harden to even put them in the same sentence:roll: .Lin is a role player harden finished second in the mvp race.

ok warrior fan and whatever other ids u use.lin be betta then harden if they had the same opportunity? hahahahaha this is why lin fans are regarded as the dumbest and most delusional fanbase

[UK2K]

They wouldn't have made the playoffs.

That's not even debatable.

Nobody wants Lin. Except maybe the Lakers.

Lakers don't want him either...Clarckson is already betta and they will probably get rondo who is also much betta

[Mawly-G]

Rockets wouldn't even be a playoff team without Harden. Especially in the West.

[Eric Cartman]

Not even we want him.

Came to this thread with the sole purpose of saying that the Rockets should re-sign Lin.

Lin is not fit to tie Hardens shoes.

[oarabbus]

Jeremy Lin gets you like, 5 points and an assist per turnover at LEAST.

Dude would have dropped 65/13 in a stunning OT loss to the warriors. Ya dun f**ed up houston


For real though pending to see what happens with Barbosa, I would not mind having Lin as a second guard off the bench for us.
