Best contract in the league right there. Him and Evan Turner.

Wow, MJ actually pulled off a good signing! Well, I guess he's been ok with signing players, its drafting them where he totally blows.

Most overrated player in the NBA, maybe in all of sports.

Absolute steal. A legit ball handling backup point guard for $2M APY who will make his team a ton of money in merchandise. Great signing.

When he had that crazy run, maybe.  Not for a couple years now.  At a minimum he's one of the best backup PGs in the league, which is how Charlotte's going to use him.  Really strong signing.

I'd say Jeremy Lin is closer to a middle of the pack backup PG than a top backup PG.

He has really improved his shooting since he entered the league, is still a solid passer and steal generator.  He is one of the best back-up PG's in the league, I'm not really sure why you think otherwise.

I think of Lin as closer to a Beno Udrih type. I'd give Lin the nod over him for the three point shooting but otherwise very similar.

I think Lin is solid but unexceptional offensive player and a bad defensive player. Needs a lot of touches on offense to get himself going. Only so-so efficiency wise. Lack of foot-speed makes him vulnerable to being slowed down by top defenders / defensive teams.
