    Rockets is a good fit for him as long as he isn't starting and isn't paid more than the min

    we need a guard who can attack the rim

    Lakers are actually a very good fit for him.

    Lakers should be piling up lottery picks and Jeremy Lin pretty much assures another one for them.

    If I were the Lakers, I would re-up Jeremy Lin.

    As myself and others have been saying....

    Jeremy Lin fan base is the most pathetic and uneducated fan base in all of sports and they keep re-affirming it. :)

    I like Lin as a person AND a player, BUT I don't want him back! There is a plethora of drama that seems to follow him!
    If it wasn't for his looney-tune minions, he'd be someone that I wouldn't mind bringing back.

    His stock value crashed. Someone is going to bet and might win big. This can be one of those very low risk, high reward deal.

    So lin says he's burnt out and the team he played for was basically a lottery team while a team like the rockets played to the conference finals.

    Dude can't handle pressure. There was zero pressure after kobe and swaggy p and Randle went down.

    Burnt out? Don't want him on my team who's trying to win a title.

    There were never pressure to be about pressure.

    It's all mental. His ego got shot. He flamed up and almost die. Seem to be full of demons in his head. We'll see if it was really completely burnt away next season.

    Don't forget the shaky handles, court awareness and unforced turnovers

    I personally like the airballs on uncontested 3's.

    I'll go ahead and call it. Lin will be a backup to Bev once again... In Dallas.

    Ahh yes. Airballs. One of Jeremy's specialties.

    You can always count on him to give you at least one airball every game.

    Even Lakers announcers were making fun of it last season.

    While his overall game might be inconsistent, there are certain categories he is definitely consistent in.

    Nuggets are looking at D'Antoni, right? Maybe they trade us Ty and sign Jeremy.

    ancillary factors like that should have no place in judging whether or not a bball player would be of use

    They can have both. D'Antoni probably wants as many guys pushing the pace as possible.

    But if D'Antoni goes to Denver or any other team, Lin is pretty much certain to follow. Jeremy is D'Antoni's Austin Rivers.

    So you think he'll go to Denver?

    I have a great hotel to recommend to the LOFs
