 Lin worked to improve his jump shot during the offseason by abandoning the shooting form he had used since the eighth grade . He also increased his strength , doubling the weight he could squat ( from 110 pounds ( 50 kg ) to 231 ( 105 ) ) and almost tripling the number of pull @-@ ups that he could do ( from 12 to 30 ) . He increased his body weight from 200 pounds ( 91 kg ) to 212 ( 96 ) — including 15 pounds ( 6 @.@ 8 kg ) of muscle — added 3 @.@ 5 inches ( 8 @.@ 9 cm ) to his standing vertical jump and 6 inches ( 15 cm ) to his running vertical jump , and improved his lateral quickness by 32 percent . Due to the lockout , he never got a chance to workout for new Warriors coach Mark Jackson . On the first day of training camp on December 9 , 2011 , the Warriors waived Lin . He was a favorite of Lacob , but the Warriors were freeing up salary cap space to make an offer to restricted free agent center DeAndre Jordan ; Lin was due to make almost $ 800 @,@ 000 that would have become fully guaranteed on February 10 , 2012 . The San Francisco Chronicle said Lin would have had trouble beating out rookie guard Charles Jenkins .
