Was signing Jeremy Lin the dumbest free agent signing of all time?

Steve Nash.

Dumb thread. Lin was signed in part of his marketability to the Asian market.

[Nabeshin]

I would not go as far as calling him a bust just yet, but given the few games he played with the Knicks last season 20 + and then the Rockets giving him a 3/25m contract is a bit absurd similar to the contract the Raptors gave Fields. We got Felton at 4/12m and he is proving that he was the correct choice and meshes well with the rest of the squad.

This might be the worst thread I've seen on PSD in months. Some of you are truly mind blowingly stupid.

This. And its funny how the same ppl agree. Tells u what u need to know about a few.

[JEDean89]

considering he makes the Rockets tons of money, no

Laundry Fields

this, loved him his rookie year in NY, then he regressed and regressed and is still regressing all the way to a legendary 1.33 PER

Yup, nothing like barebacking your own team with no lube by using cap space that could have been placed towards on a max player, on a guy who's making Rasual Butler's amazing season with us, look actually decent :cry:

**** Brian Colangelo

[RonE Coleman]

Lmao, no but his best friend Landry Fields might be the worst.

My Knicks have also given some awful contracts, Jerome James, Eddy Curry, the list goes on

[king4day]

The first two years of the deal actually aren't that bad. Keep in mind he is learning to play with a ball dominant guard on the fly. It's still a new team for him.

If these are his stats by mid next season, then I would be concerned.

It's been a month. Stop being an idiot and saying "ALL TIME".

[SeoulBeatz]

Charlie V signing<

I second that.

[The goods]

He sucks but not the worse.

[Zefflin]

Pretty damn close. Someone name 3 worse...

[ManRam]

I could name way more than three. Probably 100.

Gilbert Arenas. That contract crippled the teams he was on FAR more than Lin's tiny contract in comparison will.
Greg Oden
Grant Hill (Magic)
Larry Hughes (Cavs)
Ben Wallace (Cavs)
Eddy Curry (4 years 60 million w/ Chicago)


Come on. He didn't deserve it, but his contract isn't that awful. He's making 5 million this year and next...and then in his final year he could have trade value as a HUGE expiring contract. You know how many crappy players make 5+ million a year? A **** ton.
