Confirms on his official Facebook account he will be joining the team. Very good PnR guard, a significant upgrade in the backcourt over Roberts. Also brings some delusional fans. Straight from Linsanity himself before reported by a news source - I'm excited!

YES!
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Wow, I hope this is true. I definitely expected him to end up in Dallas or Houston. If he can learn to cut down on his turnovers he'll be a heck of a player for us.

Got to be an MLE signing, right? Hopefully it's a long term deal because that is a steal on the current cap, let alone the new one.

Interesting. If true will have to hold out judgement until the $$$$ is known.

On the surface it's hard not to like it though.

Love closing on this even with all the uncertainty in Dallas. Wonder how related that situation is...

Won't know what to do with a PG that shoots over 40%.
