[quote="JDawg"][quote="Mr_Rager718"]How do you guys think James white is gonna fit with NY?? [/quote] honestly, James White doesn't do anything besides dunk. even when he was in University of Cincinnati, he was only a dunker and didn't really do anything else. I don't really expect him to excel in the NBA period, but still wish him the best.[/quote] I think that's what he's been working on these last few years in Europe, etc.

[quote="xbiker47"][quote="izzmikyaheard"]man i want Lin but that contract is ridiculous. People are going to expect a lot more from him and he's going to catch a lot of hate now. i guess management thought we had too much invested in him to let him go. [/quote] Im one of the few that thinks Lin will live up to the contract and turn out to be a solid starting pg for us[/quote] i second that. with jason kidd mentoring lin he can be alot better. he's already proven to have game, now with a 18 season old veteran mentor things can only look better

James white could make some blowout games a little more interesting with dunks. Thats about it.

White is coming out saying he is not just a dunker so lets see if he proves it. I'm really interested to see if they persue Ronnie Brewer.

Rockets have increased their offer to Lin [quote]The Rockets have reportedly dropped a bombshell, greatly increasing the third-season salary in the offer sheet signed by Jeremy Lin on Friday. Last week, it was reported that the Rockets and Lin had agreed on an offer sheet totaling approximately $19 million guaranteed over three seasons, with a team option on the fourth and final season. The deal was increased to $25 million total over three years, with the final season now nearly $15 million. That final season could cost the Knicks as much as $45 million in luxury tax payments. It is unclear if a team option still exists for a fourth season. Some believe Houston is now desperate for a point guard after Goran Dragic and Kyle Lowry left the Rockets this summer. But general manager Daryl Morey could still expect the Knicks to match, and he may be more concerned with driving down Lin's value as a future trade chip in New York's arsenal. Chris Paul is eligible to hit the free-agent market next summer and a package centered around Lin, under more reasonable contract terms, could have enticed the Clippers to trade the All-Star point guard to New York. Inflating Lin's contract terms will make him less attractive to the cost-conscious Donald Sterling, keeping Paul on the path to free agency and in play for Houston as it seeks to remake its roster. These maneuverings may set up the Rockets' longer-term strategy of acquiring Dwight Howard and keeping the All-Star center in Houston by pairing him with an elite play-maker like Paul. The Knicks will have three days to match the deal or lose Lin to Houston. New York clearly intended to match under the offer-sheet terms originally reported.

[b]^Aint that some shit? They are obviously desperate for a PG; that much for Lin is just unbelievable. [/b]

why didn't Houston draft a PG? fiending over lin right now or they trying to cripple us.

Rockets don't want Lin solely off basketball alone, they want him because there's a super larger Asian fan base in Houston already setup because of Yao Ming. Houston ranks in the top 10 highest American cites with the highest Asian population. Same goes for NY and reason Golden State signed him.

Well houston at this point is desperate for a PG now that they lost both Dragic and Lowry, also they have money to spend after amnestying Scola. And for the record. Houston, NY, LA, GS and Dallas would make tons of money off Lin considering their large asian population.
