Poison pill offer is smart. Either you get Lin and become relevant OR you up the price and make New York pay. That's how the business works.

Alex Kennedy Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
Houston's offer to Jeremy Lin may be three years, $24 mil or four years, $32 mil. It'll likely be backloaded, only way to steal him from NY.

It's Omer Asik all over again. If Rockets get Lin, they'd pay him $8 mil per year. If Knicks match, they pay $5 mil, $5.2 mil and $13.8 mil.

Houston offered Goran Dragic $8 million per year, but he wants $10 million. Now, Rockets may be willing to make same offer to Jeremy Lin.

The Nets and the Orlando Magic are discussing a trade that would send Howard to the Nets for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and the Nets’ first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017, sources said. Lopez and Humphries, who are both free agents, would go to Orlando in sign-and-trade deals.

I'd take that

brook lopez is nothing to build around...they should make it a 3 way deal and include the rockets. they'd love to overpay a center
