Was signing Jeremy Lin the dumbest free agent signing of all time?

Lin abused Hinrich tonight

We should have resigned lin. Point blank period. I said it right after last season. Smh it hurts to see him ball on another team.

Yep people are paying attention to him now. My second fav team the giants aint doing ******* so gotta rep the home town team to the fullest. To answer the OP's question, no the signing was kinda genius as Houston is one piece away from a top 5 seed.

I also don't believe Lin would mesh well with us this year.

Why?

He and melo never meshed well last year and Woodson wasn't an advocate of his.

Morey's an absolute pimp. The only other GM who I've held in as high an estimation is Jerry West.

edit: great 'revenge' game of sorts for Asik: 20 pts, 18 rebounds, 3 blks. Asik made the bulls eat his nuts all night long.

translation: Carmela was a jealous ***** and feared Jeremy would steal "his" spotlight.

Woody's a politician: he was never going to take sides against carmela; carmela got d'antoni fired, and woodson was too smart to offend the prima donna.

agreed. if it's any consolation to Knicks fan, Lin would've never found success on the Knicks. 'melo doesn't have Harden's willingness to work with Lin. i had the feeling the Woodson didn't like Lin either. nor did JR Smith. so Lin leaving was for the best of both sides...Knicks' chemistry and Lin's career.

I've never seen this in NBA history. You had two starting PGs on your roster, let them both walk so you could overpay a guy that doesn't seem like he belongs on a basketball court.

Goran Dragic signed a 4 year 30 million dollar deal.

Kyle Lowry had 2 years 12 million left on his deal.

Jeremy Lin signed a 3 year 25 million dollar deal.

Dragic: 15.4/3/6.5

Lowry: 18.3/5.7/6.0

Lin: 10.5/4.2/6.2 38.6%

Other bad moves can at least be explained, trying to fill a need, trying to win now, weak market, trade demands, team chemistry, trying to shed salary, trying to rebuild. None of which explains the Lin signing.

was this the dumbest thread ever made perhaps only time will tell and no im not a rockets fan.

I think Kidd would have balanced everything out. He's a coach on the court and our true vocal leader in the locker room. Jeremy would have been just fine here as the number one playmaker on this team. I think Melo and him would eventually learn to play with each other, both are smart players they would have made it work. And who cares about what J.R. thinks.

The wild card here is Kidd to me, if Kidd wasn't here, then their might have been issues in the locker room.

Look at this ish: Lin taking charges, blocking shots, steals, droppin' dimes, blowin' past Hinrich again and again, post ups against li'l Wayne (I mean Nate), floaters, jumpers, and my favorite moment: 4:57 in, Nate calls Lin a motherf---er and Lin blows by him for a layup.

lol I don't think he called Lin a mother***** I think he just said in the heat of the moment.
