NBA Trade Deadline Preview: 24 trade candidates and possible deals
By Shade Piper
Jeremy Lin, Atlanta Hawks
Likeliness to get traded: 7/10
Linsanity is long gone, but Jeremy Lin has still carved out a nice role for himself in the league. He is an excellent back up point guard and has shown the ability to play as an undersized shooting guard as well.
Coming off of a season ending injury last season, he has returned to be just as effective as ever. The Hawks are looking to be sellers at the deadline and Jeremy Lin looks to be one of the players they are interested in trading. Lin is a guy who can be a spark off the bench for a team. He can run the second unit and, while not regarded as a lock down defender, he will never be lacking in effort.

Lin seems to be an excellent locker room guy too so he would be a great veteran presence for teams to look to add.
Trade Idea: Trail Blazers send Evan Turner, Meyers Leonard, and a first-round pick to the Hawks for Jeremy Lin, Taurean Prince, and Dewayne Dedmon
