Appearing in 51 games for Atlanta this season, the 30-year-old point guard has been a solid bench player. He’s averaged nearly 20 minutes per game, scoring 10.7 points, dishing 3.5 assists and hauling down 2.3 rebounds per contest.
Toronto is currently well positioned to win the Eastern Conference — one game behind Milwaukee. Adding a tenured veteran like Lin would only strengthen the roster.
