Sort of.

Houston had this up for Melo:



7 is Lin's number. He is still a Rocket as of right now.

He tweeted this:

quote:

Jeremy Lin ? @JLin7
Follow

Luke 6:29 - If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them


someone asked him about the tweet and he said:

quote:

Jeremy Lin ? @JLin7
Follow

@EmodMarco im entitled to standup for myself/say i felt disrespected as i did thru tweet but point is love unconditionally/as jesus loved me


Not the typical NBA tweet response.

by quoting that scripture publicly isn't he basically not turning the other cheek as jesus taught? Just a thought.

He should be grateful for making 24 mil over 3 yrs to be a backup pg. If Melo wore #34 they would have photoshopped that on the jersey as well

Melo and Lin can't play on the same squad?

They'll dump Lin's contract to get Melo the money he wants. They can't without doing that.

They have to dump Lin to create cap space. Supposedly have a deal with Philly lined up

8.3 (I think) in cap space but 15 in actual dollars.

Its not a matter of it being that big, its a matter of Houston not having enough money to pay Melo without dumping both Asik and Lin.

I actually thinks it's 25 mil. He gets 15 mil this year because of how his contract is structured. Only counts 8.3 against the cap though

It's been agreed to. Pels just have to clear the cap space. Rockets will send that pick to whoever takes on Lin's contract

Asik is a huge get for y'all. He is absolutely dominant defensively. Anthony Davis and him playing together is terrifying.
