Jeremy Lin has decided that he doesn't want to be under contract with the Charlotte Hornets anymore.
Lin has invoked a clause that allowed him to break free from the team and become a free agent once again, according to CBS Sports. As such, due to his skills and assets, Lin is considered to be one of the more coveted players this summer.
While some fans are disappointed with the decision, Jeremy Lin's decision to opt out of the Charlotte Hornets team is entirely sensible from a financial point of view. Under his original contract, he will get $2.2 million if he stayed. However, despite it sounding like a lot of money for the normal person, it still sounds below average for an NBA player with a popularity like his.
After all, Jeremy Lin is still 27 years old, so he can still provide some years of good solid plays, provided that he stays in tiptop shape. Furthermore, he's got the experience to help out the newer and younger players in NBA.
Regardless, this isn't exactly a new occurence, since Lin has been an NBA free agent plenty of times before. Even so, according to Inquisitr, he would certainly like to find a new home on another team.
Lin will then need to find out the best team for him to continue his NBA career. This is despite the fact that the Hornets have already given him an offer to come back next season. He has other ideas, though, since other teams would like to take him in. In any case, wherever he ends up in the NBA, Lin has already made a name for himself in free agency.
