i feel the same way.
rockets will make their money back and more whether lin does well or not. if lin improves or becomes great then that is just a bonus, but i don't think Lin is a slouch. I consider him a solid above average point guard maybe on jose calderon's level, but better than average guys like beno udrih, luke ridnour, or cj watson who are backup/pencil in at starter when your team has no other option at PG types.
i don't think the rockets organization are just content with filling seats with fans. they've been trying to acquire a good center for a while now, pau gasol and even mortgaging the farm for a chance at dwight.
