After winning the NBA title with the Toronto Raptors, the question now is what comes next for Jeremy Lin.

The first Asian-American to get a winners’ ring has a decision to make after his short-term deal with the champs expired and, as a free agent, the ball is in his court.

NBC Sports wrote that, “He could provide good point guard depth to a lot of teams” as they listed Lin among their list of the top 10 free agents still available.

There has been little progress on the future of the 30-year-old in the 10 days since.

Lin may not have got more than two minutes across the finals, but he was invaluable during the Raptors’ run to the play-offs and provided depth from the bench. He can do the same for another franchise.
