    We all know he's a passive aggressive drama queen. Nothing new here.

    Oh my god. One is literally crying in the press about not being able to find a job and one just got a contract extension with a title contending team.

    Yes, I've already acknowledged that Lin's injuries have caught up with him and he's no longer any good. I'm obviously talking about Lin pre-injury. You guys like to talk about contracts. Lin got his 3-year $36M contract 3 years ago...Bev got his 3-year $40M contract now. Given how contracts have grown, using your contract comparison, Lin was ahead of Bev. If you want to compare them today, sure, Bev is better...Lin ruptured his patellar, an injury that has devastated many NBA careers in the past.

    Theh were never on the floor at the same time. Trae's success doesnt have anything to do with Lin leaving lol. Just a rookie finding his rythm.

    The "last straw that broke the camel's back"?

    Really Jeremy, or is it a bird in hand biting the one that feeds it, while it sits in the gift horses mouth, just looking, looking looking...every day looking. Meanwhile over in the bush, two birds avoid the stone, despite the nearby glass house.

    Lin had 2 FA contracts that paid him $25M and $36M. Not sure how you can say that Lin was not sought after as a free agent.

    He literally said he doesnt care about money. And his 'rich kid harvard lifestyle' is exactly why jealous kids like you hate on him. But I'd be the same if i was on minimim wage

    There's no question that Lin was raised in a middle-class family/environment, where there are tons of players who grew up in much harsher situations. In my experience, it's very easy to say you don't care about money when you have money. But pain is relative, and certainly you don't have to come from a bad environment to be able to feel pain.

    He does care
    He won’t sign for the minimum
    Like Barkley did for his team

    He only cares about himself

    $65 million in career earnings...get the eff over it kid. I mean it's ok to be disappointed the career you are passionate about may be coming to an end, but using the word "rock bottom?!" My goodness the lack of awareness in this guys. There are people with zero in the bank that are begging for employment.
