      Yes they traded Lin. So with Lin and Asik gone, and Bosh not coming to Houston, what does Houston do with all this extra money? Who else is really left?

        Not much, looks like they're going after Deng, Ariza or Paul Pierce.

        Gasol isn't interested I guess, probably because he knows Dwight all too well.

        Sucks for them, with Bosh they had a legit three and Parsons. They would have been a contender for sure but Bosh gave it up for an extra year and an extra million six a year.

              Only Lin deal has been finalized. If Morey is smart, he will trade Asik to Charlotte as there has been rumors of this.

                    Not a terrible spot for Lin. He can make an open jumper when Kobe gets doubled. Lakers are still going to suck this year but fun to watch, I guess.

                        Guess you can change it to, when Kobe decides to pass. That was my first thought but I like Kobe.

                          None of those guys listed would be a good fit on Houston. Houston needs help at two positions: PG and PF. I'm surprised Houston didn't make a run at Isaiah Thomas. Phx only gave him 27mill over 4 years, that is definitely one of the better contracts we've seen this summer. Gasol would fill their need at PF but he doesn't really fit Houston's run and gun offense. Would they make a run at Greg Monroe? He will probably want close to max money and would fill their need at PF......but Detroit could match.

                            Yeah, Houston is stuck with the bottom of the barrel now. Forgot about Monroe, also Bledsoe though he's not a true PG. It seems like both of their teams will match anyway.

                              houston really got shafted in all of this nonsense
                              they were close to having a true championship team
                              now they are worse than before given their cap situation, haha

                                I forgot about Bledsoe, he would be a good fit with Houston's up-tempo offense, but like Monroe I think he is a RFA. Houston may just want to hold off and make a splash next year.

                                    Exactly, that seems like the best plan at this point. They still have a playoff caliber team and can continue to build their young players then add someone next off-season.

                                        Still looks like it will happen. They traded for Gee to make some space for Asik.

                                        Or maybe they didn't, who the hell knows anymore.

                                          Lakers wanted the draft pick and Lin only has 1 year left. Lakers will be bad again this year anyways.

                                            Lin has to learn to play under control more

                                            Houston was run and gun and he got some bad habits

                                            I like the guys talent

                                              They will probably go after Channing Frye if still available. If not coax Rasheed Wallace out of retirement.

                                                linsanity will thrive playing alongside kobe. lots of open shots and open floor.
