    It's amusing that Lin fans would rather him go to a losing team that he could start on than a competitive winning team. It shows that Lin fans don't really care about basketball or the teams that he has played for. We saw how well that worked out for him in LA.

    If Lin is smart he will sign with a borderline playoff East team. He will still be coming off the bench but at least he will be able to play a few more minutes. He can also claim that he cares more about winning than money (see global marketing tours).

    Lol. Are we really stretching this far to use everything as an excuse to talk about Jeremy Lin? Like how is this at all relevant to him.

    For sure Lin won't be a Lakers right? This thread should be locked. The repeats gets old and silly.

    Some mod could always title it "Jeremy Lin as Jeremy Lin."

    It's not hard. :)

    Well according to espn 1320 radio in philly. Lin is deciding between Sixers and Mavericks as both are willing to offer starting positions, but Lin will have to take a paycut. If it's Dallas then lol this will be interesting.

    Cuban trying to re-create old Houston teams.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mavs hope to sign JJ Barea and Jeremy Lin. Have $2.8M exception, can create $2.6M slot by stretching Ray Felton.

    So Dallas has mexicans, asians, indians, germans, blacks and whites? Most multicultural ever?

    good decision by philly to try get lin. they need someone to try give the ball to their bigs. Cannan won't cut it.

    But he will be a mav.

    We should only be so lucky. Lin would easily throw away at least one game in the playoffs for them. Assuming they even make it there.
