Back in June, as free agency approached, the idea of Jeremy Lin-to-Brooklyn seemed like a no-brainer. The Nets needed a point guard in the worst way. Lin could return to New York, where Linsanity roared in 2012. He would be reunited with Kenny Atkinson, the Knikc assistant first discovered his talent and drive.
But as Mike Mazzeo writes for ESPN Tuesday, it was not as easy as it seemed. Lin toyed with idea of playing with Anthony Davis in New Orleans.
Lin was highly intrigued about the possibility of teaming up with Pelicans star Anthony Davis and playing for Alvin Gentry in New Orleans' D'Antoni-inspired offense, sources said.
