Rockets RAISE offer to Jeremy Lin......

[bagelred]

........just to f-ck the Knicks over.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt

Lin will get $5M in year one, $5.225M in year two and $14.898M in year three. Rockets hoped that will discourage NY, but Knicks will match.

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT

Confirming what @daldridgetnt reported: Lin contract terms have changed. Signed for 3 yrs, $25mil. Starts at $5m. Year 3 jumps to $14.9m.

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT

Original offer to Lin had 3rd-year bump to $9.3 mil (and 4th-year opt for $9.3m). This one gives NY more to think about with $14.9m in Yr 3.

Morey is a real douchebag. Seriously. What goes around comes around.

15 million a year? Da fuq?

[Sarcastic]

Match at the 71st hour. Make them hold up their Dwight situation.

[Linspired]

rockets do need a star power.

[DuMa]

LOL thats what happens when you have woodson and other knicks front office telling the media they will match any offer. dont show your cards or else proceed to get ****ed.

stupid question, but once a team puts in an offer sheet for a player, are they allowed to make changes to it? Sounds a little unfair.

[bagelred]

So if NYK and CHI don't match on Lin and Asik, does that f-ck up Houston's chance at Dwight Howard.

In a weird way, I kind of want NYK not to match now.

Whether or not anyone said it the world knew Knicks were gonna match anything, he's their most popular player.

[StateOfMind12]

Houston Rockets are a terrible and pathetic organization, this is hardly a surprise that they would pull a move like this.

NY will match Lin's offer though but I would do what Sarcastic said and just match at the last hour just to hold them up.

[ncrizzle]

The Rockets are going All Lin

[chazzy]

Match at the 71st hour. Make them hold up their Dwight situation.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Word in exec circles is circulating already that Knicks, especially given terms of J-Lin's new deal, will take full three days to match

Houston Rockets are a terrible and pathetic organization, this is hardly a surprise that they would pull a move like this.

What happened to their Greatness

its called business negotiation. He (and all of us) already know they would have matched the original offer, so he upped it. Smart.

No matter how much Lin will cost, we will still have enough money to get Dwight.

Oh and the Houston Rockets are far from a terrible and pathetic organization you fu*cking loser.

[DTreats]

Houston doesn't even want Lin to come since it would ruin any chance of getting Dwight, so why would they raise their offer?

[bagelred]

its called business negotiation.

thanks boozehound. so i suppose Raptors should pull that offer for Fields. Hey, it's just business, right?
