GM Daryl Morey & the Rockets are making a pitch to free agent superstar Carmelo Anthony and one of their tactics will be showing him this sign outside their arena of him in a Houston jersey. The current owner of that #7 jersey, Jeremy Lin, was not very pleased when he saw the team was using his jersey without his position:

@EmodMarco im entitled to standup for myself/say i felt disrespected as i did thru tweet but point is love unconditionally/as jesus loved me

Though Lin would have to be dealt in order for Houston to take on Melo’s likely expensive salary, they probably should’ve told him they were doing this beforehand.
