Report: Nets trade Lin to Hawks
Atlanta is about to get Lin-sane in the membrane.
The Atlanta Hawks have reportedly acquired point guard Jeremy Lin from the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Nets will reportedly receive the rights to 2016 second-round pick Isaia Cordinier. Atlanta - which will absorb Lin's $12.5-million expiring contract - also gets a 2025 second-rounder and the right to swap second-round picks in 2023.
The Hawks mark Lin's seventh team in nine seasons. He's also suited up for the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Charlotte Hornets after going undrafted in 2010. He's averaged 12 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 35 percent from behind the arc over his career.
The 29-year-old suffered a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee during the Nets' season opener against the Indiana Pacers, knocking him out for the remainder of the 2017-18 campaign.
In a recent interview with Nets.com's Tom Dowd, Lin revealed he has yet to partake in any full contact, three-on-three, or five-on-five drills, but is still rehabbing with the goal of being ready for training camp in the fall.
