He sucks. He was given an opportunity in LA and Houston. His shooting accuracy was the big problem, which he hasn’t improved at all.

In reply to JL. That was before the big guy return from injury to hog the ball. Jeremy is a very versatle unselfish player. With an unselfish team, Lisanity can return.

He wasn’t able to do the things that he did when he was in NYC because he was never in charge of the ball in his last two teams the superstars were. When he played in NYC there were no superstars but it was a team where others shined like Novak, Chandler, Shumpert, fields, heck even JR smith was dishing great assist but after Carmelo came back they lost the mojo. In Houston admit it or not he was again playing second fiddle to Harden and was given a very short lease and it doesn’t matter if he plays good or bad he is benched. It doesn’t make sense sometimes when you watch some if his games in Houston he would get so hot one shot after the other and then suddenly benched. You don’t believe me find it in YouTube. The Mavericks would’ve been a better team for him.

In reply to Phlyer.

He just happened to be thrown in and told to “play” his game with teammates that were unselfish. That doesn’t happen in the NBA normally.

Those stars won’t align again.

This is a confusing and difficult times for J Lin fans..
Playing in a small market like Charlott will not give Lin the exposures he needed for rebound. Sub 20 minutes per night will almost sure he stays at NBA basement…
Playing as backup PG in a small market NBA team is where veteran players comes to retired, not prosper…I wish him well, but I think its a wrong choice.
Dallas would be a much better team for Lin.

In reply to Jim Hickman. Its hard to understand why Lin has not been able to put up numbers like he did with the Knicks. We could probably chalk up much of his early success to the fact that he was not very well known and defended, but on the other hand, he has gained a lot more experience since then. I'm hoping that his problems have been mostly mental and that he'll get past that and really shine with the Hornets.

good for Hornets. Lin is no superstar and I wouldn’t put him on my all-star team. But he is a solid player who can be good if he is surrounded by the right coaching with a system that fits. He excel in NY because the DAntoni system was a good fit for him.

Jeremy has gotten much better since his Linsanity days — more offensive weapons, better handle, and better defense. The difference with his last 2 teams is his role and playing style. He will be great as the floor general floor for the second unit. And chances are, like in LA, the second unit can often outscore the first unit.

Great move by him..still young…will develop his game quietly…become a great point guard…then get a starting role with a contender…smart move by Lin
