Pretty sure it's the full MLE(3 yrs, $15.675 million).

I think you are right. I can't imagine the nets would put themselves in that position knowingly

The Rockets have come to terms with Jeremy Lin on an offer sheet. Specific terms of the deal have not been released. As of July 11th, the Knicks will have 3 days to match offer. The report indicates that Houston can make a 4-year, $40 million contract offer to Lin where the final 2 years would be worth $15 million per season.
Ironically, the Rockets had waived Lin at the end of training camp in December to make room on the roster for Samuel Dalembert.

the max contract Lin can be offered BY ANY TEAM is 4yr/$36M. so this report is definitely off.

Joe Johnson is good but he isnt worth that much at his age. I mean at least teh heat had guys like chalmers,cole,anthony,battier,and miller

If the Nets get Howard, they'll be a top 4 team in the east. If they don't, they will be a .400 to .450 team.

Sounds reasonable to me. Without Howard they're a tough team but definitely not contenders, with Howard they're really scary and should be close to Miami and OKC.

You really think they're a tough team? They were .333 last year and the only major change is getting JJ. To be a tough team I take it you're assuming JJ alone adds .200 or .300 to their winning percentage. I don't see it.

When I say tough I don't mean good. More like Philly and Milwaukee were tough last year. I guess I should add the Knicks as well to that list.

So that's basically JJ alone adding 200 to their winning percentage. Unless Deron returns to Utah form, I think the current Nets' roster will be tough like Portland and Minnesota!

If they go out and get a good 4 and re-sign Lopez, this team could be where the Hawks were last season, Minimum, which was better than the Knicks.
