Houston's moves...

hairyangryfella · 07-05-2012, 10:20 PM

So, Houston have offered Lin a contract, but the Knicks are almost certain to match it. Does he then get to choose between the two, or does he automatically go to the Knicks if he accepts the value?

Houston have moved Lowry and aren't going to re-sign Dragic.

Kidd is going to NY, Nash has gone to LA.

Who is going to play PG for Houston??

I can only assume they will try to swing a trade, hope to get Sessions or Calderon, but really, who are they going to get to play the point?

IamRalpho · 07-05-2012, 10:21 PM

Raymond Felton
Jeremy Lin
Ramon Sessions
Jose Calderon

I mean there are guys still out there, I am sure I am missing some and yes I expect Lin to go back to NY but still

EMD34 · 07-05-2012, 10:22 PM

They met with Brooks today, so I assume he is the backup plan.

Knicker_Please · 07-05-2012, 10:22 PM

he automatically goes to the knicks. he's a restricted free agent, which means if he signs an offer, all the knicks have to do is agree to that offer and he automatically comes back to the knicks. He'll be a knick next year for sure...apparently aaron brooks is back in the mix for houston

lin either gets matched by the knicks or goes to houston. only options...and knicks will match.

this is the deepest PG FA class... ever. They will find someone.. Ray Felton probably makes the most sense at this point.

More importantly though... where does Marcus Camby now go? The rockets are a mess and he isn't getting any younger.. he said he wanted to go back to houston.. but I doubt it now... he could be a key role player to a title team.

Um thanks? What are you talking about?

The topic is about Houston and PG's so I listed the PG they just signed to an offer sheet and said "I expect NY to match"

hairyangryfella · 07-05-2012, 10:29 PM

Which Raymond Felton though... the successful one or the recent one...

Sessions is a decent PG if he doesn't need to do too much (ie with Lakers). But Houston don't have a whole lot going at the moment.

Camby would be a good fit to spell Chander in NY... just sayin'...

felton was awesome in NY, if he wants to be there and can get in shape he'd be a good pick up...camby i'd LOVE to see back in a knicks uni...

I said a TITLE team.. not a "band of misfits" as Phil Jackson called the Knicks lol.. I say he goes to Miami or a west coast team now.

So far Houston have drafted several similar players, tried to sign Asik to a stupid contract, and have no PG unless the Knicks don't match.
Very interesting offseason...

It's not over yet, but so far, yeah it's not looking so good.

hairyangryfella · 07-05-2012, 10:53 PM

I think they should re-sign Hakeem.....

EMD34 · 07-05-2012, 10:56 PM

I think he could still play, he is in good shape, and he still has the moves.

Here he is training with Josh Smith . Dream - YouTube

No way... Wouldn't have enough money for cp3 without getting rid of melo or amare anyways it's a mute point.

PackAttack419 · 07-05-2012, 11:04 PM

so dragic and brooks get traded for each other and now are gonna go back to the team that they originally were on?

sidenote... who's gonna play PG for the mavs?! actually... who's gonna play in general for the mavs? dirk 1-on-5?

ivecenanuff · 07-05-2012, 11:05 PM

Heafy83 · 07-05-2012, 11:43 PM
