08:05 AM ET 05.14 | The Raptors appear to have an ambitious offseason plan, which may include chasing point guards on New York's radar. Toronto will be in direct competition with the Knicks for Steve Nash. But Nash is expected to look to sign with a bona fide contender, and the Knicks and Raptors don't fit that description. The Raptors are also a potential landing spot for Jeremy Lin. They like him and what he'd do for their attendance, but Toronto would have to "back-load" an offer to the restricted free agent, paying him gazillions in the final couple of years of a deal, and hope that the Knicks would not match. According to league sources, that's what the Raptors just might do if their Nash plan falls through.

Why the yesterday's thread again with a different picture? It did nothing for me yesterday or today.

Lin is not going anywhere. Look at the Knicks roster they have no choice but to sign Lin. Nash is a nice to have option but he is not the missing piece to put New York in the contender category. Also it is hard to invest in a 40 yr old point guard even though he had a great year.

Lin is simply not an NBA caliber player. It was a nice hype job and the Chinese community got engaged, but Mr Lin is likely to be joining Wall Street in the not too distant future.

I partially agree with you, There are so many "fans" that think he is the next superstar to hit the court, but he clearly needs work. He was the "Tebow" of the Knicks.
