Lichtenstein: Return Of Lin-sanity The Most Sane Move Nets Have Made

» More Columns

Will it be Lin-sanity or just plain old insanity in Brooklyn next season?

Nets fans, still reeling from the effects of the Billy King era, are used to the latter.

Sean Marks is the new man on the throne in Brooklyn, having replaced the deposed King as general manager in February.

Armed with about $55 million of salary cap space when the NBA free agent market opened on Friday, Marks quickly came to terms with 27-year-old point guard Jeremy Lin. While contracts are not allowed to be signed until July 7, the reported deal called for Lin to be paid $36 million over the next three seasons, with Lin holding a player option for the final year.
