I bet if Lamb could shoot in the flow of an offense or pass it'd be easier to fit into Cliff's vision.

Shots fired. Lol. We're not exactly thriving with "Clifford's guys" on the floor.

I like Lamb, but tonight was a great example of how frustrating he can be. First half he hits bail out contested jumpers that no one else on this team could, second half he has stupid fouls and forces his offense into terrible looks that don't drop.

His length is a real weapon on offense and defense but he is so far from using it consistently and effectively.

I thought he played well tonight overall in spite of Roberts.

I thought they both played well in the first half and both sucked in the second half.

With that said, they weren't the reason we lost.

I mean, he had a promising rookie season and has barely played this season. I'm not sure how the perception of him has changed so drastically, but I haven't seen him play this year so I don't really have a strong opinion on the matter.


The perception of him changed because Philly went full (Please Use More Appropriate Word) (I really hate to use this word but they really botched that situation up bad) in handling the situation.

Andrew Bogut and Justin Anderson and conditional first-round pick will be traded from Dallas to Philadelphia for Nerlens Noel, sources say

WTF that's it for Noel?

Wow!!

Could his off court stuff impacted his stock that greatly??

Makes me wish we didn't trade away Hibbert so quickly, he was one of the few expirings we had. We could've gotten something decent

Milwaukee traded hibbert for a 2nd rounder they're never going to see. Noel is going to get 20+ mil next season.

Yeah, this deadline basically proved that teams weren't willing to sacrifice assets for cap space. Sending an expiring and a second got you nothing.

Bogut is going to be waived, can we look at him or are we committed to plumlee?
He would bring toughness, good passing and screening.

He wouldn't come to CHA. He's going to CLE or BOS, he wants an extended playoff run.

he should grow a pair and be a leader to our team to go for an extended run.

is there really glory in tacking on to an established playoff team?

It's not only for the playoff run, those teams clearly have a good chance to win the NBA title. That being said, i'd love to see Bogut manning the middle for us, sets his big ass moving screen, does some dirty plays here and there, some nice passes to slashing MKG or Kemba, who say no?
