Houston Had 2 Point Guards Already Better than Lin

[andremiller07]

And the thing is I like what Houston is doing for the most part. But I think the Lin signing was a mistake. Dragic is a good defender that won't backdown. Lin is the opposite

Had they not signed Lin they would have had as close to a perfect off-season as you can get imo.

[imdaman99]

lin was signed to get them back to the international fame years they had with yao.

[Fudge]

What was his contract like again? Was it like 3 years 25 mill? or something along those lines.

[Fallen Angel]

I've been saying since the beginning, signing Lin was a mistake, and I'm not just saying that because of the past 2 games. He's been average at best, Houston should have kept Dragic.

Agreed. I just never got the signing. Unless Houston's owner wanted Lin for marketing purposes.

[B4llin]

The worst thing about Lin is he had a run of good games and never played again until after he got a contract.

He knew it was a fluke and he would have been exposed before he could get paid for his fluke of good games. Houston got played and it's unfair. And I'm an OKC fan but still would have liked to have preferred to see Harden play next to Lowry or Dragic than Lin.

That sounds right. Pretty sure the 3rd year is backloaded

If Lin doesn't have a bounce back season for 2013-2014 I feel really bad for Houston.

They should have coughed up the money to Dragic, he would at least give you what he is worth, smh.

No shit, Lin sucks. Always has.

Only idiot melo haters thought otherwise. Remember when they thought melo was holding Lin back

[ClutchOver9000]

Him leaving was a blessing in disguise for the Knicks

Yeah, close to 15 mill the 3rd year.

Would have been better off even if they didn't want to pay Dragic to just keep Douglas/Beverly (for cheap as) the defense in that backcourt , but yeah ideally keeping Dragic would have been beast.

Lets not overrate Dragic either. He's been pretty inconsistent throughout his career as well. Remember, Phoenix traded him to Houston for Aaron Brooks. There's a reason for that.

With that said, letting Dragic walk was a mistake. Letting him walk and signing Lin? That was an even bigger mistake. Morey made a mistake but what can you do. I guess Houston signed him for marketing reasons? Not worth it IMO.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Yeah, close to 15 mill the 3rd year.

I think it was to hurt the Knicks chances of bringing him back. But they dodged a bullet.
