He still would make a good backup point guard, and the Lakers would move him if they could get an asset in return, but the market for Lin has been weak.

Lin does some things well — he is aggressive and attacks off the pick-and-roll, he can finish around the rim or knock down threes — but he’s not a great assist guy, he turns the ball over too much, and he’s not a great defender.

Deveney hits the nail on the head: Lin is a solid NBA backup point guard. If it weren’t  for “Linsanity” and his oversized contract, the expectations of him would not be so high and he could blend in around the NBA.

But that’s not the case, and because of the contract he’s not getting traded. (It’s much the same with Jordan Hill, the Lakers are not finding a huge market for the big man, his hip injury is not going to help matters.)

This summer some team will pick Lin up as a free agent for $5 million or so a year to use as a reserve point guard behind their more established star, and that role will work for Lin. He’s a solid player who is still defined by a hot month a few years back.
