During his time on the Toronto Raptors Lin went from 19 minutes to 3 minutes during the playoff games last season.
Lin feels unsure about his future in the NBA and feels that the league has given up on him. He says "But rock bottom just seems to keep getting more and more rock bottom for me. So, free agency has been tough. Because I feel like in some ways the NBA's kind of given up on me."
