    His fans would complain about Curry starting over him.

    He's not going to get any minutes at all.

    Probably 10-15 minutes a game.

    He is also unlikely to see any crunch time minutes because his handles are shakey, and he is passive when the ball isn't in his hands. Also because GSW have reliable spot up shooters or crunch time players like Thompson, Iggy, Barnes, Lee etc.

    Lin going to GSW is the worse thing he could for his career if he is looking for a spot to shine.

    Also something to note, in 2015,

    The big 3 in the Heat will be broken up

    Spurs will be done

    Durant possibly head to Houston while Love/Carmelo and Westbrook goes to the Lakers

    the dark horses are the rookies in this upcoming draft and their impact.

    Right now GSW needs someone to fill Jared Jack role, if all things are the same roster wise, I believe he'll take Jared Jack's old minutes.

    Heck GSW is trying to get Hindrich to fill that role for GSW. I believe Lin is much better then Hindrich

    #1 Who cares about the Warriors?

    #2 Lin would make a bigger impact on other teams

    #3 Lin and Curry in the backcourt would get LIT UP

    You also have to factor in Iggy and Bogut's huge impact on defense.

    Except it's not the same roster wise. They don't need a Jarret Jack, they need someone who can play PG for 10-15 mins when Curry is off the court.

    GSW will win 7 rings in a row and Lin would be known as the GOAT. Jordan will have to bow down to him.

    Jordan would slide to 2nd in ranking the GOAT.

    And then subtract Lee's pathetic defense.

    I believe minute allocations are dependent on how Lin is performing with the team. If he is hot garbage, he'll just take the spot minute. If he lights it up, he'll for sure get more. Which brings our debate back into, How Lin fits in with the GSW. We can speculate all we want but the facts remain:

    Facts:

    -Curry is suffering on offense because he and Iggy are the only play-maker. His fg% took a dip and in a 82-season game, you don't want your stars playing that much minutes.

    -Curry is the best shooter in the NBA right now and is getting double team at the 3's consistently.

    -Lin is one of the best at penetrating of the defense of ALL NBA PLAYERS

    -GSW is in dire need of another point guard.

    -Lin bought Linsanity with shooters at the 3, pick and roll with Tyson, and ball movement, and GSW have all of those pieces

    Iggy and Bogut cannot cover 4 spots on the floor.

    Yeah that is a huge problem, almost all of GSW defensive woes are in the opposing offense attacking David Lee.
