BREAKING: Rockets close to trading Jeremy Lin to the Lakers

Rakers

Real shit though, are we tanking or what? Kobe and Lin aren't making the playoffs in this West

[rezznor]

Lin's cap hit is at 8 mill i thought?

i thought that was the cap hit for the rockets, but not for anyone else

[Hey Yo]

Not sure Kobe would be happy playing with a guy who dropped 38 on him a few years ago.

not saying they are gonna make the playoffs but I think Lin could actually thrive in LA

[SpecialQue]

I like Lin. I wouldn't mind having him on the Lakers.

I already have Lin's NY and Houston jerseys. This would be a no brainer.

No GSW #7?

[KungFuJoe]

It would be perfect for Lin. He gets to shine because the team is pretty empty right now. He's back home (sorta) in CA. And he gets to learn from Nash.

If only Dantoni were still around.

Didn't know he existed back then.

It's done! let's see if LA got any sweeteners. this is great for Lakers. he's a good player, get assets likely, and he is an expirer.

rounding off the numbers Lin's cap hit is 8 million for the purposes of a trade or how it would count against a teams cap space but his paycheck would be 15 million

Lin is going to make them sOo much money this season. Just wait til he and Kobe set foot in China together.

i hope we're getting something more than just jeremy lin.

Lakers need a PG. Jeremy Lin's a perfect fit for L.A.

[WeGetRing2012]

Sigh

Didn't know he existed back then.

Lin got some notoriety in the New York/New England area before Linsanity happened. I think he led Harvard to upset victories over power-house college teams like UCONN and North Carolina.
