    Why would the rockets let Dragic walk and sign Lin?

    dumbfukks

    dragic 10 times the player Lin is

    Lin plays fukkin 10 good games and teams tripping over themselves to throw cash at him

    Bad move

    Dragic one of the most under rated players in league

    Because our GM is a straight embarrassment. But down here people literally, no joke, think he's tops in the game and will hammer you hard if you ever insinuate he's not the smartest guy in the game. Ontop of Lin they tendered a 25M contract to Omer Asik

    What about Kyle Lowry? They let him go, too.

    Lowery didn't want to be there. Very limited Rockets knowledge on this board.

    I like that you spelled Lowry's name wrong. He didn't like mchale and his offense. Still should have kept Dragic

    If you are relying on spelling you don't have many outs left. Rockets in rebuild mode, no need for Dragic or Lowry. Lets be serious it's the Heats title for the next 3 at least, every team should be rebuilding until then. Lin will keep the cash coming in, in the meantime.

    You state other people don't know rockets and couldnt spell their best players name. It would see you ran out of outs some time ago. No the rockets are not in rebuild mode, they aren't trying for a top pick in next years draft, their aim is the playoffs. That's not debateable

    I read somewhere that since Lin started for the Knicks, some sort of money number went up for them by $600 million.

    Yao Ming was instrumental in the Lin deal. Rockets know how much China money makes a difference.

    Lin is more of a business move than a basketball move. However, his basketball upside is also good.

    FWIW, I think Dragic is a bum.

    Be real rockets want the best pick they can get in the next few drafts. If they were not rebuilding they would have traded their picks this year and brought back camby and dragic. What you see on the surface is not always what you get pal.

    Because they are retards. They did it for money, but they could have done it last year and save a lot on his contract.

    Dragic carried them end of last season.

    Rockets remain incapable of making playoffs and incapable of securing the superstar they want

    People won't be filling the seats for long after they get tired of Lin putting up 10 points, 6 turnovers and 4 assists every night.

    Yes, but once these bad moves turn into loses and the "Linsanity" hype is gone, how valuable is he going to be, on the court or off....

    Simple, they realized they weren't winning anytime soon after they knew they weren't getting Howard. Might as well make some money in the meantime from Lin.

    I said their goal was to make the playoffs, which they barely did and got beat up in the first round. Certainly rebuilding mode.
