Jeremy Lin and the Golden State Warriors, it’s already dead …

UPDATE : We were happy to maybe see again Jeremy Lin in the NBA or at least in the G-League initially this season. Unfortunately, it will be complicated and a priori not with the Golden State Warriors. The release letter Lin was waiting for from the Chinese Federation – he played in CBA last season – was not delivered in time and the Dubs renounced the Exhibit 10 contract they had planned to offer to their ephemeral former. player.

Lin still has the option of joining a franchise or its affiliated G-League team during the season. That’s all we wish for him, he who absolutely wanted to come back to America.

18/12 : We must admit that we are happy with the news balanced by Shams Charania on Friday evening. Jeremy Lin, who is remembered for crying as he left the United States for China because the NBA had “abandoned” him, seems close enough to a comeback.

According to the insider of The Athletic, it is the Golden State Warriors who will include the short-lived Madison Square Garden idol in their structure for the start of the season. Jeremy Lin will not be immediately integrated into the roster of 15 players authorized to play NBA matches, but he will be able to move up from the G-League in Santa Cruz.

So far in training with the G-League team, which is home to the country’s most highly rated ex-high school students (notably Jonathan Kuminga and Jalen Green), Lin will join with immediate effect the franchise that had recruited him to his leaving Harvard, just before its exciting explosion at the New York Knicks.

Jeremy Lin: after an eventful or even hardcore stint in China, he still dreams of NBA

A little mistreated by opponents and part of the fans in China, Jeremy Lin had been aiming for a comeback in the NBA for several months. We don’t yet know if Steve Kerr intends to give him a place in his rotation this season, but we still want to see it.

As leader, the Warriors can currently count on Stephen Curry, Brad Wanaker, Jordan Poole and rookie Nico Mannion.

Jeremy Lin is finalizing a deal with the Golden State Warriors, pending letter of clearance from Chinese Basketball Association, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
