Linpity if born from the fact he earned his place but since nobody had ever drafted an Asian-American or had one succeed he was typcast.
Linsanity was not just about him blowing up, he blew up because he defied the stereotype and became a "Rocky" type hero. He beat the odds and the stereotype.
The notion he owed us something is ok but its a business and I was fine with what he did. The system is designed so the player can make his money and in the end it was a good story for him.
Make no mistake, the kid all along had NBA talent and went thru hell to earn his spot. At the same time, it would have been nuts for us to take the cap hit his contract would have presented.
If Phil wants him, thats cool.
