<p>Could Jeremy Lin become a Dallas Maverick? Some say it's not out of the realm of possibility.</p> <p>With the 20120 NBA free agency period ready to start Sunday at midnight, rumors are starting pick up steam and in some cases, become completely out of control.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/">Dallas Mavericks</a> have long been talked about as a possible landing spot for free-agent-to-be <span>Deron Williams</span>, but there hasn't been even the slightest whisper of another New York point guard.</p>
<p><span>Jeremy Lin</span> could be on Dallas' radar, <a href="http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-saturday-free-agency-rumors?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nba-saturday-free-%20agency-rumors">according to Hoopsworld.com</a>. With <span>Jason Kidd</span> ready to leave town and a gaping hole at the position, Lin could be a very attractive option for Mark Cuban to pursue if the right moment presents itself.</p>
<p>Lin is slated to become a restricted free agent on July 1, with almost every expectation the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">New York Knicks</a> will lock him up for the foreseeable future. However until that happens any team has the right to extend an offer, with the Knicks having the ability to match.</p>
<p>It will be very interesting to see how everything unfolds come Sunday.</p>
