2015 NBA Free Agency: Best Potential Landing Spots for Jeremy Lin

Published by Bleacher Report on Fri, 03 Jul 2015


Jeremy Lin is an unrestricted free agent, and suitors are sure to come calling for a player who can capably serve as a low-level starter or a top-tier leader of a second unit.Even though the point guard hasn't been able to live up to the reputation he created for himself during his Linsanity period with the New York Knicks, he's still proved that he belongs in the NBA. Lin will turn 27 this offseason, so he has almost the entirety of his athletic prime left in front of him, and he's coming off a season in which he averaged 11.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists for a struggling Los Angeles Lakers squad.The turnovers that plagued him early in his career' He's kept them at more reasonable levels for years now, and that improvement has come while he's honed his skills as a strong offensive threat in pick-and-roll situations.Even though opinions about Lin seem to fall on opposite ends of the spectrum, the reality lies somewhere in between: He can be a valuable contributor on a solid team, even if he's never going to be a star.So, what's best for Lin this summer' We're looking for the locations that can make the most of his talents, whether through available playing time or the right stylistic fit. Ideally, he'll find both, but that's not a guarantee during the NBA's golden age of point guards; there are simply a lot of talented players at his position already entrenched in featured roles.To be clear, this is not about where he'll end up. As Mark Medina reports for InsideSocial.com, the Lakers have expressed interest in bringing him back, while the Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers have shown desire for his services as well.The Lakers may be a possible landing spot for hima leading candidate, evenbut that doesn't make them one of the five best. Not after he struggled to find success under Byron Scott and would now have to fight for playing time with a broken-out Jordan Clarkson, a healthy Kobe Bryant and the fresh addition of D'Angelo Russell.Begin Slideshow
