NBA Rumors: Jeremy Lin will join the Chicago Bulls next season

[kulaz3000]

NBA rumors are now swirling with Jeremy Lin who will be joining the Chicago Bulls next season after the disappointing loss of the Charlotte Hornets in Game 7 of their playoff series against the Miami Heat.

Based on a previous report, Lin signed a two-year deal worth $4.374 million with the Hornets before the start of the 2015-16 season and he has a “player option for the 2016-17 season. This means that there is a possibility that Lin could explore the free agency market and search for a team where can be maximized and used properly.

He'd easily be the best backup PG we've had in forever. I love it. And if Rose goes down again, not a bad starter to have.

[HomoSapien]

Rumors swirling from where? And what's this website?

That said, could totally believe it. We were interested in him last season. I love Lin. I think he's incredibly underrated, is much grittier than he's given credit for, and I think he could be someone that you could really lock into a nice value contract.

r they tho?

[JohnnyKILLroy]

Lin would be nice.

[TheStig]

I'd like Lin but I also don't think the offer has any clue what he is talking about.

[GimmeDat]

This looks completely unsubstantiated to me,not just because of the lack of real source but because Lin himself said yesterday he loves Charlotte, wants to return and would take a paycut to do so.

That said, I'll leave the thread open for the moment. Lin would be an awesome backup, and was a steal for Charlotte.

[BeatDaCavs420]

I would love this move

[MC3]

Lin would be great. But we have Brooks. So...

If you can get Lin for a good value contract you should absolutely do it, but I think we should be careful in general with overpaying for role players (this include Harrison Barnes). To Gar's credit, he's done a pretty solid job of finding cheap role player (Robinson, Augustin, Felicio, Moore, etc.) Each year, you see quality bench guys get signed for cheap. I mean we could probably assemble a bench made up of guys like DJ, Matt Barnes, Brandon Bass, Brandon Wright, etc. for about $10 mill and still have one of the most productive benches in the league.

Just for the record, I'm talking about historically signing those type of players not currently, although I still do like all of those players.

[RememberLu]

No guys I totally think we should re-sign Aaron Brooks.

green?

[bullslas]

1 year too late again.

I'd call a Lin/Batum summer a big win for the Bulls. I'd definitely prefer Lin to Noah if there was a $ choice to be made.

[kingkirk]

I call crap on this rumour.

[ImSlower]

Seems like a clickbait article. Even though I would enjoy him as a 22mpg type player for us.

[JohnnyTapwater]

I wanted Lin before this season started....So this would make me happy.

[League Circles]

Lin would be a good backup PG but there's no way we should be focusing on that.

Priority #1 should be a two way SF who can shoot

Priority #2 should probably be Noah

Priority #3 should be backup PG

Who is that SF though? It's slim pickings.

[RoseTheFuture22]

This would be a great spot for him and I was hoping we'd go after him last summer, guaranteed 15-20+ starts and he should see time at SG as well.

[jumpstart]

I would like this too.

could you image if the Kennedy expressway ad building gets to keep changing with Lins haicuts? that be awesome.
