Houston got Asik, Lin on trade block...

[TheGreatShowtime]

What's the difference between going to Dallas and going to Houston if they're trading Lin/Asik then? At least Dallas has Dirk and free fried chicken for life

Got dammit. That's means I gotta buy another Lin jersey. nikka takin up my whole closet.

Lin just happens to make a lot of money at a position that's easy to find.


@who_better_than_me McHale probably wants Lin gone regardless of whether they sign Howard or not.


Getting in Royce White's way anyway

lol @ Royce White.....Didn't Lin do some foul shyt about not wanting to go back in cause of his shoulder or something during the Thunder series? And there's such a circle jerk around the Rockets GM that nothing will be made of them trying to unload those contracts one yr into them

Who? Lin? $20 mil is waaaaaaaaay too high for that dude for the next two seasons

for salary cap purposes his salary is $8.33m a year. same for asik. the whole 5/5/15 poison pill was if the knicks or bulls matched.

it's all about accumulating assets. if you have to trade them 6 months later then that's what you do.

As the Lakers stand Lin would be the 3rd best player on the roster. Maybe 2nd best depending on how soon Kobe returns.

LOL@you acting like yall got somebody better.

i'd rather have 40 year old Nash than Lin

Asik is going to help out anyone's system almost immediately, not that much on offense anyway

James Harden and Chandler Parsons. Dirk looked like a fossil this season and will likely retire within the next two years so going to Dallas is like staying in LA and rebuilding.

That Lin contract was a poison pill for the Knicks, but now it seems like that may be the case for the Rockets tradewise.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

And we just released Delfino and Aaron brook and already released Garcia. We don't have no backups for parsons or harden. I hope Howard has given them some sort of verbal agreement because I don't trust shifty ass fake nigguh. If he signs with la , we're officially the most idiotic franchise in the league.


I thought Dwight said he wanted to play with asik.

For any team that gets Asik or Lin, they get that 15 million last year and 5 mill second year. Imagine paying Lin 15 mill one year. Lol

Yup. I hope this Dwight shyt is official. If they lose all this talent for nothing I will be heated!

 

[AAKing23]

If the Rockets land Howard, Asik would become expendable. One potential destination that rival executives have identified is Philadelphia, where former Rockets executive Sam Hinkie is the Sixers' new general manager. CBSSports.com

Make it happen Hinkie

 

[Hammer]

Asik gets no respect....averaged 10 pts 11 rebounds last year

he's a top 6 center

 

[firemanBk]

They're trying to move Asik and Lin cause they want Howard AND J Smoove

 

[Swagg Pitt]

You guys really hate lin like that? He's still young so I think he's got potential. Thats my dude I hate it had to be him
