A lot of rabid Lin fans on one end are mad he has to go through gleague, but hes been out of the NBA for almost two years and has been injury prone. His last stop in Tor didnt look good (though he looked good in ATL and thats a big reason why Tor traded for him).

If he wants to get back onto a roster and rotation, I don't mind him grinding his way back through the system. That's a choice he's making, and without a traditional preseason/camp -- this is the best way.

In general across the NBA this season, we can expect a lot of injury and roster issues this year because of COVID, so he should get a shot.

On the flip side a lot of haters are making fun of him for needing to go through the gleague -- same thing I said above. He's making a choice and following a path he wants and believes in and is willing to work for it, whats the problem?


He looks sharp in his IG and was interesting to hear about his mentality shift because of China (on the aforementioned Pablo Torre podcast), but we all know none of that is REAL-- so this is his opportunity to show he can still play, contribute, and stay healthy.
