Looking to upgrade their depth, the Portland Trail Blazers have expressed interest in acquiring Jeremy Lin from the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks are looking for a first-round pick in exchange for Lin. The Pelicans and Sixers have also inquired about the point guard.

The 30-year-old Lin is averaging 11 points and 3.5 assists per game this season

Give em Rozier.. He is better than a first round pick..

Sadly we ain't trading Trigger-happy Rozier anytime soon.

I'd love to, but Lin is making $13.7 mill.  I don't see any realistic way of matching salaries.  I was hoping the Hawks would buy him out, but that won't happen with teams offering up picks for him.

Lin would be a great addition for the Sixers, he's the type of vet guard that they need.
