THANK YOU to the Hawks so much for this opportunity. Coming off of 2 years of being injured, you helped me become myself again on the basketball court and allowed me to experience the joy of hoops again! Thank you to the Ressler family, to Travis, to Coach Pierce, to my teammates. An organization that does things the right way, treats people the right way! What an honor it's been to get to play with Vince the �� and to watch these young guys develop. The future is bright for Atlanta!!! I truly mean that! Everyone who knows me knows how big my dreams are and that I have so much left to give to the game. Hyped to join the Raptors!! Galatians 6:9 #WeTheNorth #NeverDone

Galatian 6:9
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Another class positive pro in Toronto

Great pick up. Welcome to the North! Gonna be interesting what Nurse does with FVV when he returns after Lin shows he deserves the backup PG spot. Lin, powell, OG, ?, ibaka...thats a solid reserve unit. A marvin williams type to fill out that bench unit and we're rolling to the playoffs baby!!

Raptors swapped JV, Delon and CJ for Gasol, Lin, and McLemore/Miller. Upgrade on all ends.

In all fairness Delon was descent but not spectacular. It seems like Nurse was not high on him as was Casey which resulted in less usage than before.

Linsanity always seemed to come to life whenever he faced Toronto, so consider that an added benefit to landing Lin, a long-time Raptor killer: keeping him away from their East rivals. He's averaging 16.9 points vs the Raps over his career - more than vs any other team.

/slow clap welcome Jeremy Lin, the basketball IQ has risen with the additions of Marc Gasol and Lin I expect big things from this team. We got 20 + games to put this together. I am a believer

I've gotten like 400 new followers in the last 3 hours. From this point forward I'll only be tweeting about Jeremy Lin.

I wonder if we become the most watched team globally this year in the playoffs?

We just added China & Spain to an already interested American audience thanks to Kawhi.

So I would say yes.

And we have the Spurs and Grizzlies fanbases watching us under a microscope. Not too shabby.

Let the FVV vs. Lin debates begin...

the strengths Lin brings that far outpace what VanVleet has posted so far this season. Lowry is an elite finisher, in efficiency if not volume — 18.1 percent of his attempts are inside of three feet from the hoop, and he's shooting 64.9 percent on those attempts. VanVleet gets to the basket more — 25.2 percent of his attempts from inside three feet — but he's making just 50.3 percent of them, a huge dropoff from Lowry. Lin? 30.3 percent of his attempts are inside of three feet, and he's making 62.4 percent of those attempts. He remains one of the best in the league at getting those buckets at the rim on the drive, the engine of his Linsanity period.

Lin also edges VanVleet on assist percentage, rebound percentage, steal percentage — in virtually every way, Lin is an upgrade right now for a team with title aspirations. Moreover, VanVleet's availability is in question, as he'll be out for at least the next three weeks with an undisclosed ligament injury. Still, as long as Lin plays at the same level he's displayed in Atlanta, don't expect VanVleet to get those minutes back once he returns.

LOL Lin fans putting in work. First they start with other back ups on team and then they'll go after Lowry

In this case I think it's more that the sports writers and bloggers know that writing any article about Lin will get them clicks and put money on the table.

To be fair, Lin IS way better at the role the Raptors have (foolishly) foisted on VanVleet this season. That's the upside of this move - if Lin is running PnR and driving, VanVleet is spotting up and moving the defence with timely cuts and shifting around the perimeter and defending, where he actually has tremendous value.

Well somebody (i.e. Masai) messed up big time, because they signed FVV to a backup PG, but you're saying that Fred is really a 5'10" JJ Redick.
