Last week the Brooklyn Nets decided to waive point guard Jarret Jack and not pay him the $6.3 million he was looking to make this season.
Today, the Nets went out and signed free agent guard Jeremy Lin to a massive three-year, $36 million deal.

Not sure why Jack is laughing, Jeremy Lin is better player than he is.
Update: Jack says the tweet was bad timing but no one believes him.
There are more things that make me laugh more than basketball please don't feed into the dumb stuff
