    Obviously just to keep some of the Asian fan base around.

    Bima or Clutch,

    What's the reasoning behind this signing?

    We already have 4 point guards on our roster unless Lin is assigned to the Vipers.

    Don't know yet (this is confirmed though that they claimed him).

    We're asking ourselves here why they did that ... doesn't it ding their cap space (I haven't looked at Lin's contract though). They are holding off on signing Morris and Parsons for that reason... but then they can still sign those guys after they're over the cap, but can't claim Lin (perhaps).

    There must be a trade brewing. Some teams want Dragic perhaps. Leaving Lin and Flynn to battle it out for the backup PG spot

    I think Morey is claiming him to add to his front office geek staff, not as a player on the team.

    That's cool.. I was bummed he had gotten waived. He seemed like a decent bench sort of player.

    Jeremy Lin is a joke. Please keep Dragic over this scrub.

    well i mean it'd make sense to sign an asian player to try to keep that huge asian audience. you'd have to be a complete idiot not to try to keep them.

    Its not like he's completely useless. Good size, + rebounder, high steal-rate, draws fouls.

    He could be a worthwhile rotation player.
