Warriors Interested In Jeremy Lin 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Oct 26, 2020 12:12 pm

The Golden State Warriors have interest in Jeremy Lin, according to a source.


Lin last played in the NBA in 18-19 with the Toronto Raptors, only playing sparingly. Lin received little free agent interest in 2019 and eventually signed in China.


Lin began his NBA career with the Warriors.

Lin will thrive in Kerr's system and he will bring a lot of people to the seats too. It makes perfect sense for both parties.

He’s been right around or just below league average throughout his career so I wouldn’t say that’s completely true. Definitely not a sharpshooter though.

That said, Lin was absolutely awful when the Raps picked him up in 2019. Awful at everything. He couldn’t be trusted at all. And that’s why he didn’t have an NBA job this past season.

I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

For vet min sure but he was unplayable in Toronto. I guess he's the 3rd PG/SG.

He will probably work his way into the rotation at 15 minutes a game...on some team. The Ws would be great. They have a major drop off after livingston (who got old) lin is getting older but has less mileage. If his head is on straight...and it wasnt in toronto (too much too fast) he could be a nice spark plug assuming he stays healthy. Vet min...great pick up.

Just keep your privilege in check and everyone will love you again... ha!...

Seriously stay off ego- inflating sjw mode and focus and you might just gain the trust of new teammates.

Guessing your recent travels abroad might have changed your perspective a bit... ahem.

Lin already made a tonne of loot and his business investments will likely make him a tonne more, so he doesn't necessarily need to get paid big bucks to return. His roots are Bay area and the team would see a crazy return on the investment. Add that dude can play P and R decent and has been willing to hoist the 3 (albeit at just above the league average) in years past... Good job Warriors.
