He was taken in by the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 NBA season. When Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony was injured, coach Mike D’Antoni tapped him and he played splendidly for the next 17 games that had the New York Knicks crowd ecstatic, thus earning him the moniker Linsanity.
But the Knicks did not re-sign him the following season and Lin was taken in by the Houston Rockets on a three-year $25 million contract. Unfortunately, Lin did not prosper nor blossom under Kevin McHale and the Houston Rockets and was thus dealt to the Lakers on the third year of his contract. His stint with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant was, as everyone knows already, history.
Now, Jeremy Lin is looking for a team that he can finally call his home. And it looks like the Denver Nuggets would be his next stop in his colorful NBA journey. Whether it would be the last stop or simply the next stop, would be up to his gameplay and how he shows his true potential as a basketball player.
um…one problem. dantoni hasn’t interviewed for the position. there’s all this talk about hiring him but he has to actually interview before he is considered.
one other problem…do the fans have anything to say about it? To this author Faried seems a throwaway for a chancy draft pick? He is the only player that made the Nuggets worth watching for 2 years now. I have seen some pretty big draft busts even in the top 5 spots before…..
The NBA has passed Mike Dantoni by , let’s keep it that way ! Melvin Hunt is our best bet for an excellent coach , no need to look further ! If the current brain trust stupidly wants to trade Lawson & Fareid they still haven’t learned from the Shaw fiasco .
Melvin Hunt won’t be in Denver next season; his boss doesn’t want him.
