I still don't like it, but it's reasonable. Dragic should get the same.

[ducks]

lol almost 8 milion a year like the great george hill

he wants 10

[DMC]

Lin is going to bust. Just watch.

[smaka]

Lol. And Houston fans than say Dragic isn't worth 10 a year. If that guy can get 8, Dragic should get a lot more than 10.

Dragic is not worth 10 million a year. Houston's front office is just re ed.

[Pelicans78]

Lin needs a lot higher usage rate to be as productive as Dragic. 2 million less for Lin is not a bargain at all.

[djohn2oo8]

Going after Lin is all about marketability and not much else.

[DMC]

ing Lin going from near waived to bank just like that. Harvard tbh.

[Pelicans78]

Plus Dragic played at a higher level over a full season compared to what Lin did.

[djohn2oo8]

What's lost in all this is that Kyle Lowry knows he's finished in Houston. I mean, Jeremy Lin getting more bank?

[Nathan89]

Imagine what he could have got if the NBA didn't have a lockout

Welcome the Western Conference All-Star starting point guard for the next few years.

Welcome the Western Conference All-Star starting point guard for the next few years.

Looking at our roster currently, we wouldn't have a single All Star for our own All Star game.

Another made in china rocket that will sit out half the season.

lol

At least Rockets got a future 10 time all-star, no doubt the Asians will vote in mass.

30 mill over 4 years doesnt equate to 8 mill/yr...

linsanity will put up 14-15 ppg and 7-8 apg which is more than fair for his contract

linsanity will put up 14-15 ppg and 7-8 apg which is more than fair for his contract

And around 6-8 TOs

linsanity will put up 14-15 ppg and 7-8 apg which is more than fair for his contract

And how many turnovers and how many points will he allow?

It's close enough for the non-pedants.

[FkLA]

thinking Linsanity will average 6-7 TOs per game for an entire season

The guy doesnt have top notch handles, but alot of his high turnover rate also had to do with him having to adjust to the league. As he gets more experience theres no reason why he cant get it down to 3-4 TOs per game, which is still a 2+:1 assist to TO ratio.

Exactly what I was thinking. The Rockets lose Yao and pick up their next Asian cash cow. Rockets merchandise sales will skyrocket (no pun intended) in China if Lin goes to Houston.

A lot of his high TOs come from teams that are actually good at defense
