    That's fine.

    I didn't know Lin identified himself as both as well so that's a different story.

    I guess that is his way of life. Sucks sometimes.

    He's said that before he even played in the NBA and while he was in the NBA.

    but the most important part of his identity is:

    We should really focus on how good this kid can become.
    Could be a stop gap in Houston or years to come.

    I wonder if Lin will start doing this though:

    Which one should it be?
    I don't see him sticking for long. Gut feeling.
    The odds are against him.
    Goran is proven and Flynn has a past with Mchale
    Two preseason games to watch him dominate exhibition games haha
    Personally I will always rally behind the underdog

    Chinese, tiawanese, blackanese, no knees, who cares! If he's good, he will play. If he's a bum, well he's a bum. Unless one or PGs is traded, he'll be working at YAO Bar and Grill by the time the season starts.

    Kid is 2.6 PPG/ 1.4 APG on 9.8 MPG last year with the Warriors. Even his FT shooing is average 76%. He doesn't take or make 3s and he's under 40% FG%. Other than enraging trolls by being Asian not seeing the value in this kid.

    I guess he had good showing in D-League and GS had some offers for him. Morey must be basing his moneyball off those numbers.

    My gut is that Morey has something brewing with the glut of PG on the roster and Lin may or may not find a spot at the end of the bench.

    Don't be a r****d. Why would the kid go to Harvard so he could work at Yao bar and grill. If anything he'll play in Europe when he doesn't make that squad.

    It was Casey Mitchell who got waived. For now Lin's still on the team. Fall back haters.

    Chinese Tim Tebow. He might shoot 3 for 15, but he just wins.
