Jeremy Lin is back in New York, and it's funny (especially to Jarrett Jack)

The Celtics still have the Nets first-round picks in each of the next two seasons, so Boston fans will continue to enjoy watching Brooklyn struggle.  When the Nets let point guard Jarrett Jack go yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised:

Jack was legitimately the Nets best player until he got hurt last year. https://t.co/ik3gVQClxs

This morning Brooklyn signed Jeremy Lin to a three-year, $36 million deal, which seems even stranger (not the money part though, every contract this summer is going to be nuts).  Granted, I'm a bit biased and I've never been a fan of Lin, but take a look at these numbers:

Jeremy Lin last year: 26.3 min, .412 FG%, 11.7 pts, 3.0 ast, 3.2 reb
Jarrett Jack last year: 32.1 min .391 FG%, 12.8 pts, 7.4 reb, 4.3 ast

(That's supposed to be 7.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds for Jack)

Apparently I'm not the only person amused by this:
