Brooklyn Nets: Jeremy Lin & the Two-Position Player Concept
In our second look at the Brooklyn Nets right before their first preseason game of the 2016-2017 NBA season, we focus on the team making up for some of their more glaring weaknesses by trying to use as many two-position players as possible (and maybe even three). Jeremy Lin is part of that stock, although it’s doubtful his role on offense will change very much: The Nets don’t have another playmaker like him, and their main hope of not being a doormat this season connects directly to him doing well as the team’s point guard.

Jeremy Lin Wants to Make the Brooklyn Nets Fun Again
At his best, Jeremy Lin is one of the more exciting players in the NBA. Yes, for those who haven’t been following us following Lin’s career, you may be surprised to read it.

Brooklyn Nets to Lean on Jeremy Lin Leadership & Brook Lopez Improvement
One of my favorite parts in an offseason is hearing coaches and general managers talk about their vision for the upcoming season.

Jeremy Lin Can be a New York & NBA Superstar Again
There are a number of reasons, some subjective, others objective, that people think the Brooklyn Nets will be the worst, or one of the worst, teams in the NBA this season. One of them is how little respect or knowledge many fans and NBA reports have when it comes to Jeremy Lin, basing their opinions on things they saw from him around four or three years ago.

New York Knicks & Jeremy Lin: Old Grudge Hiding Behind Defensive Lies
Two options: Either the New York Knicks haven’t watched a single Jeremy Lin game since he’s left the team, or their smear campaign against their former player is revived after a four-year hiatus.

Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Jeremy Lin & Steve Clifford Unable to Replace Him
The Charlotte Hornets had the opportunity to re-sign Jeremy Lin this offseason, but wouldn’t offer him the kind of money he wanted, and the number of minutes he needed, and so he left via free agency to the Brooklyn Nets.
