The Lakers will send cash and rights to overseas player to the Rockets, but no salary back, league source tells Yahoo.

One step closer to Bosh joining D12 and Harden in Houston...

Would this put Houston over the Clips for 3rd in the West? I don't know, I wonder how their bench will look like now. They lost A?ik and Lin, who are still good players.

It's a pity D'Antoni isn't still there. Lin and D'Antoni were a good pairing.

I called that one a couple days ago... Lakers seemed like a team that would make sense to absorb Lin's contract and pick up an asset.   Plus he can help them.

On philly's blog they said they had a deal in place already... they were already pretty angry they didn't jump on the Zeller/1st freebie... I imagine they are going to be pretty angry they missed out on the Lin + 1st freebie.

They already moved Asik to the Pelicans... so all they really have to do is just dump Lin on a team with cap space like Philly... and they will give up Jones/Monte as the bonus for taking on Lin's expiring contract
...

In-fact, my guess is that the Lakers are the team that take on the contracts.  They could certainly use Lin + jones.

Edit:  Actually according to Philly's blog, it will be Lin + a 1st to Philly. http://www.libertyballers.com/2014/7/9/5885973/sixers-rockets-jeremy-lin-trade-chris-bosh
Only reason I included Jones in there was because there was a suggestion that they'd need to dump him as well to clear necessary cap space.

The Greater Toronto area has a Chinese Canadian population of about the same size as the Chinese American population in the Greater Los Angeles area and Lin hasn't played for the Raptors yet.
