Los Angeles Lakers point guard Jeremy Lin allegedly lacks chemistry with Kobe Bryant and may not return to the team next season according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

When Jeremy Lin was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this past offseason, the point guard was thrilled as not only would he be returning to his native California but he’d also be playing for one of the marquee franchises in the NBA.

Of course Lin probably didn’t expect the Lakers to be this bad nor did he expect his game to fall off a cliff, but that’s exactly what has happened.

A free agent at season end, Jeremy Lin is playing for a contract and the results have been less than inspiring through the first few months of the season and it appears he may have played his way out of a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. That’s the word from Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski who believes Jeremy Lin will only spend the current season in Southern California and lacks chemistry with Kobe Bryant.

“I think this Lin is a one-year player with the Lakers. He’s a backup point guard in the NBA. He’s obviously be thrust into a bigger role because of who they have [on the Lakers roster], with the injuries and with Steve Nash being out for the year. You can see that Lin’s confidence is not there. There’s not a great chemistry between Kobe and Lin, that’s obvious.”

Wojo made the comments during an interview with Los Angeles radio station The Beast where the full audio can be heard.

It’s not exactly shocking news considering the sub par play of Jeremy Lin and the fact the Lakers would likely prefer to spend their available money on a big name talent to go alongside Kobe Bryant.

Still, it seems a bit premature to completely write off the point guard.
