The former New York Knicks point guard, Jeremy Lin, is currently a free agent, after having a "Cinderella" type of year! He came out of know where and got his chance to start for the Knicks in mid-season, and shined! He started out averaging over 20 ppg, then once teams starting adjusting to him, and his play style, he only scored about 14 ppg.
The 23 - year old Lin has a decision to make. The Houston Rockets have offered him a 3yr 25 million dollar contract, but the Knicks have until midnight tonight, July 17, to offer him a contract, or he will most likely end up going to the Rockets. The Knicks have recently signed point guard Jason Kidd, and they traded to get point guard Raymond Felton from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Carmelo Anthony would "Love" to see Lin get re-signed with the Knicks. “I would love to see him back, honestly, I would
definitely love to see him back. But knowing the business of basketball,
it’s kind of a tough situation, kind of for both parties. With Jeremy, I
know he definitely would want to be back in New York, and with the
team, (owner James) Dolan definitely wants him back. But it’s just a
matter of figuring it out," said Anthony after an interview on Sunday, July 15. Now it's all in the Knicks hands' now to see whether Lin goes to the Rockets or not.
Do you think Jeremy Lin should go to the rockets or re-sign with the New York Knicks if they offer him a new contract? Where do you think is the right fit for Jeremy Lin?
