I've been reading Lin to Lakers is confirmed. Only one year though. He better get his game going or he'll just be a footnote in history.

Some NBA news:
James is going back to Cleveland, which is
Bosh is coming to Houston, which is
Lin is going to LA / Phillies (not final yet...), which is
He'll probably do better with the Lakers. He was uncomfortable with Coach McHale system, plus the Rockets still got Patrick Beverly who is still a pretty good starting PG.

Say it ain't so...an he'd better step up his game.

Houston just let Parsons go and did not get Bosh. I personally think it is a BAD move to let Parsons go. Parsons is a young players that is only getting better. Even at his current state, he is a star-ism player and many times plays better than Harden. He scores with high efficiency and actually defends, which Harden almost never does. So the Rockets took apart team AGAIN! Some of the major pieces of their team from last season are gone. They seem to do this rebuilding thing every the other year and never give the existing team a chance to bond and develop. This is the exact opposite of what the Spurs have been doing. You've got to give the players time to develop chemistry.

Lin is actually not that bad. He averaged 12 points and 4.5 assists last season with limited minutes (~16-17 minutes/game). And he was forced off the starting line-up because Harden doesn't play defense, NOT because Lin is a bad starter. As Lin is an average defender and Harden never defends his man, Houston's defense is left with a big hole. They had to plug in Beverly to defend for Harden. Lin is a very aggressive player whose style is to attack the basket constantly. Yet, last season, Lin usually didn't even attempt a basket until the second half. Many times, he lost his defender and penetrated down low and had a wide open shot in front of him. Yet, he passed the ball out. He never did that when he was in NY. It was clear as day that he was told to hold off and to yield.
So I would expect Lin to perform much better with the Lakers, where he becomes one of the first options next to Kobe. With Kobe injured all the time, Lin could possibly become a primary option... Who knows...
Never stated he was bad. He's a decent player.really he is. I want the Lakers back in the lime light in LA. I wanted a bigger named free agent. I think the Lakers can afford a bigger name.
As far a Kobe is concerned. The Lakers need to find out will he be able to play full time this coming season. And they need to find that out before training camp opens up.
I honestly see them going no-where in the 2014-15 NBA season.
