According to NBA reporter Jonathan Givony, the NBA Development League will revise its rules this season, and each participating team will be allowed to appoint a veteran player (with more than 5 years in the NBA) to join the lineup. In this way, the Chinese basketball star Jeremy Lin has the opportunity to use this rule to sign with the NBA Development League team.
As part of this bubble, the G League is making adjustments to their roster rules making it easier for NBA teams to recruit and sign veteran free agents with 5+ years of NBA service. Every team will now be allowed to designate one “NBA Vet Selection” to their roster. https://t.co/0KBniECOqn

The Warriors originally planned to complete the contract with Jeremy Lin on December 20, and then lay off Jeremy Lin and let him play for the Warriors Development League team. However, because he failed to get Jeremy Lin’s clarification letter within the prescribed time, the contract ultimately failed.
Today, according to NBA reporter Givony, the NBA Development League will amend the rules this year. Each participating team will be allowed to appoint a veteran player who has played in the NBA for more than 5 years to join the lineup, but this rule is only valid for this season. As for Jeremy Lin, he has a good chance to sign with the Warriors or other NBA teams’ development league teams according to this rule, and use this as a springboard to return to the NBA.
