This thread will become legendary.


Message from the Brooklyn Nets mods
This thread has now been renamed the "Official Jeremy Lin Thread".

The mods are well aware of Jeremy Lin's following. We hope and wish nothing but success for him.

With that said, we expect discussion about Lin to be constructive and cordial. Lin is a human being like the rest of us and therefore he is subject to both praise and critique if his play warrants it.

When in discussion with other posters in this thread, remember to attack posts, not posters. We will not tolerate name-calling, condescending remarks, or slander from anyone regardless of whether you are defending or critiquing Lin, the Nets, or other people and subject matter.

Knowing that Lin threads on other team forums have gotten out of hand in the past, there will be a short leash on violations.

Derailing discussion/personal attacks will be met with the following penalties:

- First Violation: Warning and Moderator has option of issuing a temporary suspension anywhere from 1-12 hours.
- Second Violation: Seven Day Suspension and/or Temporary Board Ban From RealGM Nets Forum.
- Third Violation: Board Ban of at least six months from Brooklyn Nets Forum.

We hope these penalties will never have to be enforced.

Go Lin and Go Nets!

-NyCe, Rich, and JJ

Bargain contract

My face right now:

Damn good contract IMO...

YAAAA i like this signing a lot.... culture is changing!

Given the available options, 3/36 isn't too bad a deal

Interesting that this was kept quiet. Hadn't heard any legit rumors about him to us in the last couple of days.

12 mil is a good deal in this market and the nets got the guy that atkinson wanted. wonder what rondo wanted in free agency.

who is our next target?

3/36???

Don't see how it's possible to be mad at this signing.

isaiah whitehead wont start! why?

you know cap is rough when jeremy lin is a starter at 12 mil an not muc complaining.

Welcome to the Nets!

I like this deal a lot. Kenny knows him better than anyone on this board and I fully trust him that he has picked the right guy to run his system. And he seems to be one of the the high charater and hard working players they were talking about all along.

12 M per year is a good deal and leaves us with 43 M to fill other holes on this team.

Did you honestly expect a second round pick to start on a team which tries to be competitive?

Whiteside needs some time to develop, he was not a lottery pick for a reason.

It's a good contract, maybe it allows the Nets to overpay someone now and get him off their team. Maybe Fournier.

Call me crazy, but I am putting it here right now, Nets is going to win more than 40 games this coming season.

We're still awaiting the Portland situation with Chandler Parsons. Marks wants Allen Crabbe but Portland can't afford both.

Great signing, he will be marketable and that is a great contract.

Sean Marks already proving himself.

This is a deal you have to pretty happy about especially considering the term and money being thrown around so far. Makes this deal look like a complete steal.

Welcome to Brooklyn, Linsanity!

Crabbe shot 48%/41%/85
