He is not on that level.
But by market value... Yes.
In terms of his bright upcoming future and value in the market. The knicks should offer him a reasonable contract in the summer. to be honest. Linsanity now is not on the same level with those guys like D-Rose ,TP and CP3 . However, Lin is still 23 years old and will surely be an all star from next season on. so if you were the manager of the knicks would you agree to this contract?

So he does not deserve 5 -6 million per year?
?
No, I ment I agreed with you on the he not in same level of D-Rose ,TP and CP3.
But by market value, he is worth a nice contract. 25m/3y is ok'ish.
Based on just 20 or so games, I'm willing to take a chance on 5 mil per. But 3 year 25 mil, which comes out to roughly 8 mil per is too pricey. I'm not even convinced he's a long term starter in ths league.
On the otherhand, if you take into account ticket sales and merchandise sales that he's generating, I could see him signing for 25 mil over three years.
With Melo injures once again someday, then you will know that Lin worths 8 mil per.
Anything over MLE is overpaying
That is what I supposed to be reply
3 years for .25 million? sign me up
I wonder what deal will Lin sign. I totaly have no idea ,how it will look like. 25/3 seems unrealistic tough. Lin would want 5 yrs, and Knicks would like less money annually
hahah compared to other bloated contracts with other lazy, uninspired players in the league.. that looks like a bargain to me.
Based on performance: 5mil
Based on potential: 6-7mil
Based on marketing potential: 8 mil
Yes
Just think about the revenues coming from Lin jersey sales in China
Average salary of NBA players is $5.15M, I would imagine that, even based strictly on performance, Lin is above average at this point.
I only have the 2010 data, but of the 146 guards in the league, 48 guards make $5M or more. I am not sure if there are 48 guards who are better than J. Lin at this point, especially when you are mindful of the fact that there are quite a few young guards who didn't make the $5M cutoff because they were on their rookie deals (Conley, Harden, Westbrook, Mayo).
Surprisingly, in 2010, going to $8M a year would only shrink the list down to 30 guards (18 guards make between $5M and $8M, weird), and those that made the $8M club aren't really that great of a group of guards either. Mo Williams, Jason Richardson (an old deal), Jamal Crawford, Devin Harris, Kirk Hinrich, Jose Calderon, Ben Gordon (definitely a mistake).
Of those 18 guards that makes between $5M and $8M, the only one who is clearly better than J. Lin is Derrick Rose, and the only reason he's there is because of the rookie deal. The other players include Beno Udrich (WTF?), Sasha Vujacic (WTFFFFFFFFF???), JJ Re , John Salmons, J.R. Smith (I believe he is the 2nd best player in this group, behind Rose), and Francisco Garcia.
A player like Kyle Korver and Louis Williams makes $5M. Of the players that are not on rookie deals, here are a list
UPDATE: Just found the 2011/12 salary:
http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-play...position/2011/
The $5M group have some promising players, but these players are only here because they are on the rookie deals, they would command a MUCH larger contract once their rookie deals expire. (Westbrook, Irving, Wall).
Those making between $5M and $8M who are NOT on rookie deals:
Hinrich, Miller, Nelson, Felton, Udrih.
Those who are making more than $8M, and I think are worse than J.Lin:
Calderon, Terry, Mo Williams, Stuckey (arguable).
Players like Nate Robinson, Jarrett Jack, Jose Barea, Randy Foye and such makes slightly less than $5M a year. So I would say J Lin is only worth $5M a year based on performance is not entirely accurate.
Pretty much.
's certainly gettin overpaid as long as he plays in NY tbh
Answer: No
Why? He would take less
Everybody gets overpaid in NYK.
No. The guy is not effective when running a half court offense, he's only good on teams like NY that run all over the place. Guys like Kidd and Nash are able to adapt to any style of offense, run and gun or half court grinding game. Not to mention they make scrub team mates look like cash, something only elite PGs can do.
A good center would deserve that contract, but there are so many PGs in the league that can do what Lin does on a run and gun team, that nobody would rush to sign the guy to such a contract.
but so true!
no!!!
Hes not even chinese, hes taiwanese
He said in an interview he was Chinese, that's good enough for 99% of the world.
Right now he's not worth >= $8M. $7M sounds about right.
