He played well last year, once Coach Borrego let him out of the doghouse he had been living in. I will not soon forget the Raptor killer!

Solid player. Improved a lot. Bacon can do what he does at a tenth of the price. Were going to miss him.

Pay Rosier 20 mil while Lamb gets signed for 10...

Toronto slayer. Clutch. Guy should have been starting at least a year to a year and a half before he did.

I'll miss Lamb, and the numbers indicate that the team will too.

Should’ve been the starting SG the first season he arrived to give Kemba some help offensively but Clifford only viewed Batum as a SG and MKG was still on the questionable fence of potential versus inadequacy.

Sadly Lamb was the best scoring wing Kemba got the chance to play alongside in his 8 year tenure with the franchise. Says a lot about how bad of a job they did surrounding Kemba with talent.

Lamb probably could’ve gotten a better deal than the one he accepted with the Pacers but I’m sure his agent told him to jump on the 3-year security blanket considering the fact that the Indiana made him a priority based on it being a day 1 free-agency signing.

I think Lamb has peaked so we have no use for him since we aren't a playoff team, good for him to land in a stacked situation...Pacers could be the 2 or 1 seed if Oladipo's health is good

Meh he was ok....he would be great on a team with better shooting or as a 6th man for a contender.

I remember hating the MKG contract. Hating the Marvin Williams contract. When Batum + Marvin were heading for free agency I wanted Marvin gone and my max offer to Batum was 15 million. Fans jumped on me for that because they knew Batum would be gone. What did the Hornets do? They brought back both and overpaid a role player x 2.

Jeremy got a standard contract for a role player. Not a bargain and certainly far from an overpay. But this team is not in the position to be paying role players any kind of real money. That includes only 5 million for Kaminsky.

Other than financial reasons, I like Monk more than most and warmed sufficiently to Bacon.

Lamb will be above average for a 6th man. The Pacers are a top 4 team for me.

Bucks
Sixers
Pacers/Celtics

You only pay for roleplayers if you anticipate on contending. This has been our biggest flaw over the past 6 years.

You pay out 4/48 or 3/58 to young players who can grow into a star, but not roleplayers like Marvin or Batum

Mitch inherited Cho's roster of Kemba + role players and no cap. Literally Kemba was the only player who was a legit starter.
