Cleveland's Finest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) So after Dragic and Lowry's performances last year, you think the Rockets would let one of them have a chance...

ChosenOne Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Haven't seen this anywhere else and the Rockets haven't even met Lin yet. Same, this is the first. I knew they were suppose to meet but to sign and offer sheet already sounds a bit fishy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Knicks will match, and Houston will be glad they did in the long run I feel. Rockets really shot themselves in the foot with the Lowry deal. They better hope Toronto makes the playoffs next year, cuz if we don't, that pick is going to be right near that 14 spot Houston picks almost every year lol.

NomarFachix Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 3 years, $25M. Horrible. I'd have rather grabbed Augustin. $1M per career start. Let the Rockets have him. Grab one of the Bulls castoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Houston once again offering a contract that crazy backloaded. If Lin and Asik both head to Houston, those two will be commanding nearly $30M combined for the 2014-2015 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 13, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm not even sure what Houston is doing anymore. Their first attempt at Dwight seemed reasonable, sending picks and being able to keep a few key players...but now, the rumors that they are willing to trade basically the entire team, take on three bad contracts, AND give this amount of money to Lin and/or Asik...it strikes me as desperate. If you're going to go all in, you should be sure you're building a contender. If they land Dwight, they won't contend, and they may lose him in the summer. If they don't land him, keep what they have, amnesty Scola (they did), and pick up Lin and/or Asik, they aren't improving THAT much. Assuming the end game is Lin, Asik and rookies...then deal the rookies for a two-guard, and meanwhile, find a team that wants to take Kevin Martin off your hands for a draft pick, so you can get out from underneath that $13 million this season. What if the Thunder really are looking to deal Harden or Ibaka? The interest was there for Beal, so you'd have to assume they thought about a Harden/Beal trade. Go after Harden with the rookies, then maybe look into the FA pool to fill out the rest of the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen All of this is high comedy, but does leave no doubt that Knicks will take every bit of three days to match, once offer sheet is in hand. Jonathan Feigen Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen Rockets FedExed offer sheet to Knicks offices in NY, but league said GM Glen Grunwald must receive it himself. Clock to match at standstill. Jonathan Feigen Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen Rockets had a courier knocking on doors at hotel, call room. Could not get someone to accept offer sheet yesterday. Jonathan Feigen Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen Rockets so far unable to hand deliver Lin offer sheet. Knicks refused to accept at team hotel. Glen Grunwald not at practice yest, gm today.

Nitro Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Idk how much sarcasm is in that but the whole team is signed for 3 years anyway... My point is that you don't run a successful franchise in a system with a cap by overpaying anyone and everyone. Yeah, Dolan may have deep pockets, but that doesn't mean signing Lin to this huge contract based on one sensational month is a smart decision. And if memory serves me correctly, once you pass a certain point in the luxory tax, you lose the full MLE and only have the mini MLE left, which will basically cripple this franchise because they are still another MLE level player or two away from being a serious contender.

Sħãlïq™ Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Jeremy Lin begins workoutsUpdated: September 18, 2012, 6:00 PM ET HOUSTON -- Jeremy Lin is finally getting his own bed. The 6-foot-3 point guard, who became an international phenomenon during one dazzling month with the Knicks last season, went through his first workout with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. Naturally, he drew a horde of media to the Toyota Center, evidence that Linsanity has plenty of life left in it. "I don't know if I'm the face of the franchise just yet," Lin said. "I think we're a young team and we're all going to buy in. The thing about us is it's not going to be any one person that's going to carry us to where we want to go, it's going to be everybody. I think it's so early on, I'm just trying to get to know the guys." Lin was waived by the Rockets last December, then picked up by the Knicks. He was hesitant to buy a home and slept on teammate Landry Fields' couch the night before his breakout game against New Jersey on Feb. 4. Lin signed a three-year, $25 million contract with Houston over the summer. He arrived on Monday -- but first asked teammate Chandler Parsons if he could "crash" on his couch until he bought furniture. He finally feels secure enough to settle down. "I've got to get that bed in there, so I can sleep well tonight," Lin said. The Rockets acquired Lin over the summer by outmaneuvering the Knicks in free agency.Full Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if they would include Motiejunas in the deal, but the main thing we talked about was Harden for Lamb, to save OKC money. I figured maybe this would happen if February, if there was a chance of it going down at all...but whatever, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
