    Also, I seriously doubt there is any league wide interest in Lin. If another team picks him up it will a one to two year deal at the minimum.

    i'll say it right now. Isiah Canaan (who hasn't played much) has way better upside and skillset then jeremy lin. Canaan has better ball control for one, better jumpshot, and he plays within himself, not going off and dribbling the ball after getting the rebound being up 2 points only to have it stolen and mo williams hits a three on us!! (yes i am still bitter about that game 4 ending). I trust Canaan way more then I do with Lin.. and thats sayin alot considering Canaan got demoted this year to the d-league after he sprained his ankle!

    That's true too. I think Canaan will be a really solid backup next season, doing exactly what Terry is doing this season but with a bit more penetration to the basket.

    This is funny. The 2013/2014 Lin would be so much better than Beverley right now, both offense and defense.

    The biggest issue with Lin last year was his salary. If we take him back for cheap, only a total irrational hater would be against it. Morey is all about VALUE and Lin for cheap is decent value.

    Does Morey even ask Mchale if he can work with these players or does he just sign them and say "Good Luck, Make it work". I really hope this is just a bunch of BS!

    Good I don't mind having Lin back. At least he would be another ball handler when Harden goes to the bench. Never as bad as some made him out to be but than again from what I hear he's been terrible in L.A.

    Lin is ok but I would rather have my eyes ripped out of my head than have an army of LOF's on this board again.

    if we include his fans, he isn't even worth the minimum.

    I would not mind Lin back at the min vet. Say what you want but imo he's a decent backup/play maker.

    No reason that Cannan can't provide a CJ McCollum out put that Portland is getting right now.

    I'd take Lin back in a heartbeat....... as a vendor in the concession stands at Toyota Center

    I'm sure he will put more butts on the seats if that's what Le$ wants.

    Was thinking this too. Lin isn't too bad, just not 15 million dollars good.

    Lin is mentally weak and his bball IQ is low. He'll lose us three games for every game he helps us win. Combine that with his annoying fanbase and I wouldn't even want him on the team for the minimum.
