Lin surprised and disappointed?

Almost makes you wonder if Lin is saying that right things, but secretly wants to go to Houston. After all, he wouldn't have Melo taking away from his touches.

Actually I'm beginning to full on wonder...

You have a point. Remember, "Linsanity" really took off when he could be the focal point of the offense with Carmelo out. Anthony came back, D'Antoni was fired and Lin was pretty ineffective within the constraints of the new offensive system.

How many players had their stats inflated in Phoenix and then NY under D'Antoni. How many players had much better stats in Utah under Sloan? Offensive schemes can make an average player look good and a good player look great. Linsanity just may continue in Houston because they've become the new GS; no bigs and a bunch of tweeners. Expect the Rockets to just try to outscore everyone.

Absolutely agree with you. Houston might become the next seven seconds or less.

hmm... McHale is already hinting towards Lin being the Rockets man! If Lin pans out, the Rockets made an amazing signing.

McHale, who won three N.B.A. titles as a player, told Lin to get ready for a journey, one that would be different from his whirlwind in New York. Lin is expected to become the Rockets’ starting point guard next season. McHale also said Lin would be the Rockets’ leader — even though he is a 23-year-old point guard who has 25 starts in his career with the Knicks. “He’s going to have to make a lot of decisions in our offense,” McHale said. “We have a young team, so he’s going to have to be a leader for us.” New York Times
