A new name has emerged as a candidate to fill a spot on the Los Angeles Lakers' bench as a backup to starting guards Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant.

Jeremy Lin, an undrafted 6-3, 200-pound combo guard from Harvard, is being considered by the Lakers after the team opened contract discussions with Roger Montgomery, Lin's agent, over the weekend.

"We're just trying to sort out the best roster fit, the best situation for Jeremy, but we're highly considering the Lakers," Montgomery said in a phone interview Monday.

why would he go to the lakers and be a bench player when he owns ny? besides, lin not a good fit for the lakers.

had he signed with lakers, he'd be partying with kobe and banging hawt lakergirls. also starting since fisher is old and washed up.
