Jeremy Lin has player option, should C's sign him ?

[Smitty77]

I stand corrected.  I somehow forgot, along with Curt Schilling, what a politically correct world we live in.

The funny thing is is that some of you were bothered by this, yet I seriously doubt that Jeremy would be bother by it.

P.S. People often singled out Scally for his red hair and complexion, yet that was OK.  But, it is heinous to call Lin Asian.  I got it.

If we trade one of AB/ Smart , we are going to need some guard depth . He seems like a Stevens type of player to me . Much rather sign him than turner. Lin can do everything Turner can, plus the ability to shoot .

I would keep an eye on him if I am Danny .

You can't bash them for their flopping, we have the biggest flopper in the NBA in Smart
I do NOT want the Asian FLOPPER!!!!  Pass!!!  He literally makes Kemba look like a non-flopper:-)))

Not sure what his ethnic heritage has to do with anything...

You are correct, but any team thinking about signing him thinks about that due to one thing:  MONEY!!!!  You all simply canNOT deny that.

That was a joke, but I was NOT joking about his flopping.  Have any of you actually watched him play?  If so, how can you MISS seeing the consistent and embarrassing flopping??  What Whiteside said was the TRUTH about Charlotte.  They literally have two of the biggest floppers in the league in Kemba and Jeremy!!!

Please watch this video. Lin regularly gets hammered with contact, a la LeBron and Pierce, with no foul calls at all. The only difference is that Lin is about 3" shorter and ~50 pounds lighter, and he cannot withstand the hammering while still playing like a roid-raging 6'8" 250lb LeBron.

He'd be an upgrade on Turner.

But I'd prefer to let Turner go and fill that role with Smart / Rozier /  Nets pick.

No.

The last thing we need is another guard who couldn't guard a chair. No thanks

Yeah, Lin's 3pt% isn't quite strong enough to justify the change
