News Is This: Golden State Signs Jeremy Lin

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

If all the rumors are true - including ESPN's Marc Stein - Jeremy Lin is going to Golden State.

The Golden State Warriors are closing in on signing summer-league sensation Jeremy Lin, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.

Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Warriors, by offering to guarantee more than half of Lin's potential first-year salary of nearly $500,000, have reached an agreement in principle with the point guard from Harvard. Lin is expected to receive a multiyear deal, sources said. [...]

A Western Conference scout said of Lin's play in Las Vegas: "He showed that he can be an NBA point guard. He showed us he can finish, defend and has above-average athleticism."
I guess we'll all be following some Warriors next year?
