It’s been a few years since “Linsanity”. Remember? The two weeks where Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere to save the Knicks’ season? Yes that was a fun time.
You could call it Jeremy Lin’s prime because since then he’s been average ever since then.
But for some reason. Jeremy Lin keeps finding work. He’s currently playing for the hapless Los Angeles Lakers. It’s probable that he won’t be with the Lakers next season. Which means that Jeremy Lin is on the free agent market.
According to ProBasketballTalk. The Houston Rockets might be going for Lin once again.
Houston makes as much sense as anywhere for his next stop, and Morey keeping Lin for the first two cheap years of his contract, getting another team to pay Lin’s real-dollar $14,898,938 salary this season – Lin’s cap hit is still $8,374,646 – and then re-signing Lin would be such a Morey move. Sure, the Rockets general manager had to give up a first rounder to dump Lin, but it allowed Houston to sign Trevor Ariza and saved owner Leslie Alexander plenty of cash. And the Rockets would still get Lin in the end.
The Rockets actually traded Lin least time he was in Houston. To the Lakers. If I was Jeremy Lin. Just for that I’d give the Rockets a stiff arm. “How dare you put me through a year of tanking!”
