I mentioned this midseason this year. He's a realistic option. Can really attack the rim.

NBA: Jeremy Lin Suddenly Looks Like A Fit For Spurs
by 2Paragraphs in Sports | May 13, 2016
Jeremy Lin, post-game media conference in Charlotte
The San Antonio Spurs played this season like they wouldn't need new parts for a while yet. Bolstered by the offseason acquisitions of David Westand LaMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs went 67-15 and started the playoffs with a 4-0 Grizzlies sweep. But the Spurs saw their weaknesses exposed in the second round by a young, lightning fast, exceptionally strong OKC Thunder. For the first time in memory, San Antonio struggled to find open players and even to get off shots. Not only did the Spurs repeatedly fail to recover on defense fast enough to match the Thunder's sprint-outs (even after made baskets), but on offense the selfless San Antonio machineregistered just 19 assists -- after dishing 39 in Game 1. Point guard Tony Parker (6 points) hadn't been nullified this way since LeBron James stifled him in the 2014 NBA Finals.
The Spurs crushed the Thunder 124-92 to open the series, but things changed fast. Just as they will likely change fast this summer for San Antonio. The Spurs sorely lacked youth, strength, quickness and penetration as the series wore on. They were short players who can defend full-court and create shots on their own when the system gets clogged by ferocious defense like OKC's. Charlotte guard Jeremy Lin brings all those ingredients to a roster. Lin, who will explore the NBA market (again) this summer, used this past season in Charlotte to prove he can defend at a top level (after being wrongly maligned for not having that ability) and to remind everyone that he can create his own shot and consistently get to the line with penetration. San Antonio did neither against the Thunder, shooting just 16 free throws as a team in Game 4. Lin has been looking to play for a contender. He also owns, as Spurs culture demands, a reputation for team-first play. Last week the Spurs didn't look like they needed a lot of help. Today, Jeremy Lin looks like a good fit.

Suddenly?
Jeremy has a habit of torching the Spurs when he gets minutes. Last time was March 11th, when he poured in 29 points.
Not sure. He gets shook when driving in traffic.
that. Don't need more delusional foreign fans.
So many asian fans on ST trolling Porker s.
So Lin is the Duncan + Ginobili replacement. That's just ing great.
He's fukin Asian. They all get shook when driving in traffic.
why are you saying he's Asian
The only race we never could get, and maybe an eskimo and we are all set...
We've had an Asian before: Menk Bateer
he spread the floor.
That would be a Doc "He played well against us" Rivers signing.
Ill take anyone at this point.
Sounds good, but what the Spurs really need is an athletic big man. That should be the number one priority this off season.
ing lol
jeremy lin sucks balls.
Lin would be Jefferson 1.5.
We need an eskimo or a mongolian.
Think of the jersey sales though. I know Holt is
