Jeremy Lin obviously joined the Houston Rockets because they were able to give him a bigger contract than the New York Knicks could at the time. However, his celebrity status has taken a huge hit since making the move. Hindsight is 20/20, but it is now obvious that he should have stayed with the New York Knicks.
