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

[blacknapalm]

[DTreats]

Why not go ahead and offer 4yrs/60mill

There's a limit to what Lin can make.

[Zackmorris]

Damn you Morey

[Sarcastic]

This, surprised to see more teams not using poison pills or really trying to **** over a team when they know they can.

Then people like you complain "I can't believe player X is making so much money. These GMs are idiots to pay that much".

[Unstoppabull]

Geez redbagel quit crying about it.

[All Net]

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.

Don't think it matters

Why not go ahead and offer 4yrs/60mill

they cant. basically the most they can offer the first 2 years is MLE, with the 3rd and 4th being full max (if you want). can only do a 4 year deal (max) as well.

[Mr Know It All]

So weird Houston management is normally so conservative and smart, this off seasons has made them look amateur and reactionary.

I guess losing two good young point guards has put them in panic mode.

[Sarcastic]

The most they could have offered was 4/40 roughly. They offered 3/35 roughly.

wow... not good for the nba.

I have a feeling we will see plenty of this in the future. Its sleezy, but it is business. OKC has set the bar for unclassy deals sending Jeff Green and his bad heart to Boston

Knicks will match. I don't see the point on Houston's side (The Nets just introduced 297,000 new players, are the Knicks really letting Lin go?) Seems like a waste of time and he is burning bridges.

That said it's not unfair. Unfair is reaching a deal and then changing the terms and taking something away. This is not that at all.

its happened in the past as well.

[niko]

its happened in the past as well.

OKC hiding injuries they are required to disclose and the Rockets raising an offer to try to steal a player are not quite the same. It's funny people are equating them.

So when the Knicks match, how big of a check does Lin write to Morey?
