I live overseas, so I haven't seen the Rockets play this season. I'm curious as to how Houston fans have felt about Jeremy Lin so far. Solid player that's overpaid? Awful? About what you expected? Better than expected?

started off poorly, but is finding his role

In his current state, he's an accurately valued player. He's not elite, but he is valuable. He's an explosive player who's started to find his jump shot, so he's been a valuable offensive asset. He's a liability defensively, big time.

Lin isn't a good one on one defender, but he's still 5th in the league in steals.

Common with guys that can't stay in front of their man.

Guys like Allan Iverson and Larry Hughes had really high steal totals.

No argument. It's better than just getting beat though.

Except a lot of time, the guys that have high steal numbers have it because they take unnecessary risks and end up giving up open shots, open lanes and open passes when they didn't need to.

any rumors of rockets making a trade?
HotardAg07

There were whispers of them connected witha few trade talks for guys like Eric Gordon, but I really think we stand pat with the team that we have.
Hickory High
How long do you want to ignore this user?
for once, I want Morey to stand pat this trade deadline. As the Lakers have shown this year, there's something to be said for team chemistry, and the way to establish some of that chemistry on this team is to not make any moves. We have a good young team that I feel will only get better. But, if Morey is going to do as Morey does, he'll do some move that comes from WAY out in left field.

Really want either Josh Smith, Paul Milsap, Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph, or Al Jefferson in the offseason though

Everything I have heard seems to point to waiting until the off-season for free agency instead of making a trade. Our cap situation is in really good shape.

I have heard a few rumblings about a possible trade of Patterson before the deadline but nothing imminent.

Patterson for Love straight up. We will throw in Royce White too

Love needs to come home to LA

I think the Rockets are looking to make a splash with a FA in the off-season. I wouldn't be surprised if we come up with a deal, maybe even in a 3-team trade, to get a lower lottery or mid -first pick in this years draft.

So who?
Josh Smith?
Dwight Howard?
Chris Paul?

Yesterday I caught the end of an interview with Dwight on the radio talking about how great the city of Houston is and how great the Rockets are building up their team. Probably playing to the Houston media but either way I don't want him. If I'm going to have an immature big man, give me COUSINS

I thought hr blocked trades to Houston last year.

We didn't have james harden last year and Brooklyn is no longer an option.

Really?

Howard will have thirty million reasons to stick around with the Lakers so the odds have to be overwhelmingly in their favor.

Why not just sign an extension now, then?
Hickory High
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, really. The writer is completely incorrect in that statement. NOTHING Howard stays indicates he wants to stay.
Old School Rucking

I feel 99% sure he stays in LA. The new CBA means the Lakers can offer more years and money and there's always the media exposure and additional financial opportunities that come from being in LA.

I believe Dwight genuinely likes Los Angeles and the Laker organization. He's clearly frustrated with losing and the team's lack of identity, who wouldn't be.

The fact that MWP and Earl Clark get more shots than Dwight is sickening. D'Antoni clearly doesn't believe in low post play or using our size the way Phil Jackson did. There will be one more season with D'Antoni and the current cast and then we will rebuild around Dwight.

Keep in mind Kobe and Pau are off the books in 2014 and the Lakers are going to go aggressively after an outstanding 2014 FA class.
Dan Scott

Kobe leaves when he wants and I don't think Kobe like Dwight and his pussiness
