Rockets Land Jeremy Lin After Knicks Decline To Match Offer
Kevin Martin doesn’t even remember Jeremy Lin being in training camp with the Houston Rockets last December. Seven months later, Lin is returning to Houston – and he’s a lot richer for it.
Lin officially rejoined the Rockets Tuesday night after the New York Knicks declined to match the three-year, $25 million offer sheet he signed with Houston. The Rockets waived Lin just before the start of last season, and he went on to become one of sports’ biggest stories during a stunning three-week run as the Knicks’ starting point guard.
