Agreed. Bout tired of hearing this "Lamb needs to be with the second unit" nonsense. Start him and give him 30+ minutes a game. Stagger the rotation to where Lamb plays with the second unit if need be. Hell I don't care.

Good deal for us. Even if he flames out that deal is easily movable as the cap keeps exploding.

Solid backup plan in the doomsday scenario that Batum bolts in free agency.

Jeremy Lamb will be given ample opportunities by the Charlotte Hornets this season, especially with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out for the season.

"They love Lamb," said a league source plugged into the dynamics in Charlotte. "He's really the only long, athletic shooting guard they have now that (Nicolas) Batum will be back at the three. He has a chance to be really good."

The Hornets tried to trade for Lamb long before the Oklahoma City Thunder finally dealt him.

Some executives feel Lamb's lack of opportunities hurt his confidence with the Thunder.



The Thunder basically gave Lamb away so I'll take the notion of "The Hornets tried to trade for Lamb long before" in proper context.


"They love Lamb"

PJ played real bad D in the summer league. He has played a bit better in the regular season. That's a little strange, maybe cuz he's excited he gets to start? Maybe he can exert a ton of energy cuz he won't play much?

OTOH, his shooting is the main problem. 'Nuff said I think?
