For a spell, while he was wondering if the New York Knicks were going to be the third NBA team to cut him in a nine-week span, Jeremy Lin was famously dividing time between teammate Landry Fields' apartment and his brother's couch . Last week we found out that the Knicks star was looking into renting former Knick David Lee's old place near his team's practice quarters , although it turns out that Lin may have never lived in Lee's old digs . Wednesday, via the definitely-not-bugging-our-phones chaps at the New York Post , we've learned that Lin has rented out a place closer to the heart of the city.

As a result, he likely feels more than easy in taking on a second apartment downtown. From the Post : The two-bedroom W suite comes outfitted with $30,000 to $35,000 worth of Tui Lifestyle furniture. Rents there range from $3,600 to $8,900 a month, according to Streeteasy.com. The owner of Lin's unit had put the two-bed, two-bath apartment up for sale for $2.315 million before renting it out.
