What a difference 6 months makes!

Half-a-year ago, the Rockets cut Jeremy Lin, who was making around $600,000.  This past week, tthat same Rockets organization gets him to sign an offer sheet in the neighborhood of $30 million.. 

Crazy world.

That's a pretty big move to make on a guy who wasn't worthy of them only half a year ago, has only played in a few dozen games, and had a season ending knee injury.

My whole point, MAS!  I hope it works out for Houston (grew up a Rockets fan), but the way that deal is structured towards the back-end, I think the Rockets will wind up wondering why they did this deal.  Of course if they wind up with Dwight Howard...

They probably figure tapping into the massive Asian fan base they acquired during the Yao Ming days, they'll recoup that money with the merchandising plus turn a profit during his stay there no matter how it turns out.
