The Cleveland Cavaliers considered adding Jeremy Lin to their NBA roster before signing Yogi Ferrell, according to reports.
﻿“It was shortly after last Monday’s game in Orlando when the Cavs connected with Ferrell’s agent, letting him know to be ready,” wrote Chris Fedor for Cleveland.com, after Ferrell’s first NBA game since August, a 101-91 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
“Ferrell, who hadn’t played 5-on-5 basketball with NBA-calibre players in five months, was one of a handful of free-agent point guards considered. Jeremy Lin, Frank Mason, Emmanuel Mudiay and Shabazz Napier were the others.”
Lin officially signed for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors’ G League affiliate, last Saturday.

#Cavs newbie Yogi Ferrell, getting another chance to show he still belongs in the NBA with all of Cleveland’s injuries, makes good first impression

That was the day after he announced to Chinese fans that he would be moving to the NBA development league rather than returning to the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Basketball Association, where he played last season.
He joined the Ducks after receiving no offers during free agency following winning the 2019 NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors.
Written off as a PR stunt, the ‘Linsanity’ began even before Lin’s NBA debut
The 32-year-old, who joined the Warriors in 2010 after being looked over in the NBA draft, told fans on Saturday in a live Q&A session that he is free to join any NBA team at any time.
The G League is set to start next month at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Disney World near Orlando, Florida.
