Can the Detroit Pistons afford Jeremy Lin?

The point guard who brought us Linsanity found new life in Charlotte last season. Would he be happy coming off the bench to lead Detroit’s second unit?

The Detroit Pistons are in desperate need of a backup point guard. The fans know it, Stan Van Gundy knows it, and 36-year-old Steve Blake probably knows it, too. Unrestricted free agent Jeremy Lin might be a solution to their problem—if they can afford him, and if he’ll be satisfied continuing to come off the bench.

Lin reached international fame during his breakout season with the Knicks in 2012, earning the former D-Leaguer and Harvard grad a monster three-year, $25 million deal from Houston.
