Rockets general manager Daryl Morey acknowledged he made a mistake by cutting Jeremy Lin.

"We should have kept (Lin)," Morey said via Twitter. "Did not know he was this good. Anyone who says they knew misleading (you)."

The Rockets, with Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragic, and Johnny Flynn already on the roster, had a logjam at the point guard position.

"He is a very good player but Linsanity was not happening here this year," Morey said.
