Earlier today, Jeremy Lin’s development league team, the Santa Cruz Warriors, lost to the Lakeland Magic and stopped in the semifinals. At the same time, it was announced that Jeremy Lin’s contract with the development league expired and he is currently a free agent!
Overall, Jeremy Lin's performance in the Development League is pretty good. He averaged 19.8 points, 3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 10 of the 12 games, and his shooting percentage was 50.8%. But to be honest, the development league emphasizes individuality. Jeremy Lin's style of playing team basketball is difficult to highlight. If he can be selfish and get more points, he may be more concerned by fans or NBA scouts!
In the offseason last year, in order to continue to pursue his dream of NBA, he rejected the invitation of Beijing Shougang twice and gave up at least US$3 million in annual salary and instead used a salary of only tens of thousands of US dollars to play. The person who pursues dreams should be respected, but at the same time, including he himself, he admits that this decision is very risky. After all, he is not young anymore. Only he knows which is more important to make money or pursue dreams.
In an interview after the game, he was asked about the next plan. He said, “In the short term, let’s see if there are any opportunities. No other league supports the airborne except the NBA. The CBA is now close. At the end, let’s see if there are any NBA teams that can feel my performance in the development league. Give me a chance!"
These words are a bit sad. So far no team is willing to give him a contract or even an invitation. In the trial training, I can feel a trace of regret from his words, because there is no chance for other leagues except the NBA! The third phase of the CBA has already begun. No more team can sign him. Shougang has performed well after returning to Yannis, and also signed McRae. Jeremy Lin can only wait for next season if he wants to come back!
At present, the NBA has also ushered in the second stage of the post-All-Star game. Under ideal conditions, Jeremy Lin may be called up at any time. The key time point is the trading deadline and the operation of each team in the buyout market. If not Chances are, Jeremy Lin may end the season as a free agent.Where to go next season?
