  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
why are they making Lin available? Do they have other options at pg?

Aaron Brooks and Patrick Beverly, who both outplayed Lin far too often in their season.

I'm a Rockets fan as well, and I think that Brooks/Beverly is going to steal Lin's starting spot next season. Beverly is like Bradley, but with better offensive game. He's a few notches down right now.

Brooks is better than Lin offensively and is a freaking shooter.

Both are more than capable of giving Lin a run for his money.
I like Marcus Smart

Brooks outplayed Lin this year? When? Brooks was a disaster this year regular season and playoffs. Lin was hurt and couldn't move or play in the playoffs I guess Brooks was "better" then.

Beverly definitely came on late.

nobody really wants Lin lol

And it's not the kid's fault. He's a solid player. He's just ideally a backup PG, and for his contract, he'd be quite an expensive backup PG.

He'd sense for a rebuilding team in an area with a high Asian population that would like to have a draw for fans while trying to tank.

Brooks got waived the other day. So I guess it's Bevelry. Dwight must be excited.

Also, Brooks averaged 2 ppg last season. The only season when he has statistically outplayed Lin is 2008-9 :P

Lin, Asik, and a first rounder in 2015 for Rondo and Lee? :P
