NBA · Jeremy Lin is a big reason Houston is doing so well (page 10)

The Houston Rockets have a major decision to make this offseason and it isn't regarding a Kevin Love trade or signing Carmelo Anthony, as Chandler Parsons can become a restricted free agent this year if Houston doesn't pick up his contract option or an unrestricted free agent in 2015 and this choice is huge and could affect if the team trades Omer Asik or Jeremy Lin, as teams like the Miami Heat, LA Lakers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and NY Knicks could be interested in signing Parsons.

Parsons has developed quietly into one of the best young players in the NBA and as a second round pick that doesn't always happen, which is one reason why the Rockets want to hold onto Parsons. The team likes Parsons and his value so much that they balked at a trade with the Boston Celtics last season that would have given the team Rajon Rondo and sent Asik up north because they did not want to put Parsons in the deal. The situation is a tough one for the Rockets, as they want to keep Parsons, but know they need to trade Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik to have any chance at getting Kevin Love or Anthony.

Lin's apparently more like an expendable crewman.

may he one day be reunited with mda, maybe in genoa

that was an awesome time to be a knicks fan

Had we kept Lin, I believe we would have been in the play offs this year by default, possibly even beating out Toronto to win the Atlantic division

And you say this because he has such a stellar playoff resume? Gets us to the playoffs, hmmmmm, I thought that was what Melo has been doing.

What has Patrick Beverly been doing lately? What about Toney D?

18 minutes a game can certainly be sliced and diced to show how Lin's changing the NBA world. If Ray Felton was putting up those stats, you'd be re-burning his effigy even more than it already is.

I hope Lin had security track down that woman after the game. She may have just wanted the attention from the sign but it's worth a shot.
