Rockets make offer to Jeremy Lin

The Houston Rockets have given Jeremy Lin a multiyear offer sheet, and the New York Knicks free-agent point guard was mulling over whether to accept it, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks are expected to match any offer sheet free agent Jeremy Lin receives. (Getty Images)Lin is a restricted free agent, so the Knicks have the opportunity to match any offer sheet he signs to keep him. The earliest Lin can officially sign the offer sheet is July 11. The Knicks would have three days to match or let him join the Rockets.

Houston's multiyear offer to Jeremy Lin includes back-loaded money designed to hit the Knicks hard on the luxury tax, sources close to Lin said. The Rockets' offer comes as the Phoenix Suns reached agreement with Goran Dragic on a four-year, $30 million contract. The Rockets stopped bidding on Dragic, refusing to go as far as the Suns did.

The Knicks have publicly and privately indicated they plan to match any offer for Lin.
