true lin does have enough to be 6th man, but he makes to much for that. if he can't start then he should be traded. he did progress during the year, but not enough (IMO) to be considered starter material.
He made more than what he contributed this year for sure. But I was told it was Alexander wish to have him. Maybe a business reason. I don't know. So whoever write the paycheck happy with it, what else can we say.

One thing I'd like him to eventually add to his arsenal is a post up game, a la Andre Miller. At 6'3 he's bigger and stronger than a number PGs. Not talking Dream Shake or Shaq-brute-strength stuff, just something where he can take advantage of his size; I recall he did it once against Nate Robinson in the XMas game vs Chicago.

Yeah, it takes time. Lebron worked on his post-game for years before he got to the point where you can't put guys like Rondo on him and get away with it.

True. But it only took one summer with Hakeem for him to do that. The Rockets should sign "The Dream" to a coaches contract where he can only work with Rockets players under contract. That away his tips don't improve other players/teams.

I heard that Dream makes a ridiculous amount for his training sessions, for example Amare paid him $100,000 for two weeks, so trying to monopolize his services would cost a hefty sum.

Judging by Amar'e's performance lately, Dream should offer him a refund.
That's because of his failing knees. He was performing well until the knees gave out.

I think Dream should teach as many people as possible. The more players that can do what he did the better--it is awesome to see.

lin with a post game? that's an interesting thought. while I still believe lin should be moved, if he came up with a post game I do think it might help him. he is bigger than the average point guard and should in theory be able to shoot over the top. however if the rockets get a chance to move his contract it must be done b4 his value slips any further (IMO).

I did see him bust out a couple of McHale's classics over the course of last season....

not nearly often enough...........I know it's not popular to want lin traded. I rode the fence on him all season watching him play before I reached that conclusion. it didn't seem as if the rockets had many choices to replace him. however I believe that chance for an upgrade is available now. problem is moving lin's contract. he is owed 20 mil in the next 2 years even if only 16 of it will count against the cap. that's high for an average point guard. there are teams that would love to have him, but probably not at that price. this is why I think signing howard and moving lin in the transaction of a sign and trade is probably our best chance to rid the team of his contract. d'antonie loves lin help them reunite while freeing the cap space to chase other option is our A plan in my book

Give Lin one more season AND a legitimate offensive big man to work with before passing judgement.

Which upgrade is currently available at PG?

after the clippers resign cp3 Bledsoe will be available........calderon is a FA and can be had for a reasonable price and is better than lin just for starters. I don't need to see any more of lin to make a conclusion. his game has fatal flaws.

Ever heard of Chris Paul from Wake Forest? He is a FA PG.

While there are a few options out there I agree with the second part of this.
RBF, you're not wrong--but I do think Lin has it in him to improve--quite a bit--and the addition of Howard would certainly accelerate that. I think we are in a win-win here. If we move Lin and get a PG that is ready to play at the level we are all looking for then great--and hopefully Jeremy winds up somewhere he can finish developing. If he stays, then we get the pleasure of watching him grow into the PG we all want him to be. He has flaws, but I wouldn't call them fatal. it's about him learning his strengths and weaknesses and fostering the former while diminishing the latter.

JG I agree he has room for improvement and is capable of traveling some of that road. however I think our time is better spent on bev and lin's replacement. YES howard would help lin's development, but this isn't about trying to work on lin as much as it's about the rockets fielding the best possible lineup. lin is going to be a serviceable PG in the league. however is serviceable good enough? with howard we could probably hide lin's faults better, but why go that route when better options are available at a cheaper price?
