Signed By Indiana - The Jeremy Lamb Thread

[bondom34]

You tell us. I think the hold up may be Presti asking for more than most teams are willing to offer for a guy that received constant DNPs. Since Lamb is one of the final pieces in that Harden trade that Presti might regret he might be tryna squeeze every little bit of value he can get for him before letting him go. My guessing is if Brooks was the GM then Lamb woulda been traded but Presti is and he view him as a asset still.

I don't think its pride over anything honestly. He was willing to trade him for Lopez, who I don't consider much of a good target. Brooklyn didn't want him either. I like the kid, wish him the best, but this is saying something to me.

Since you have seen him more than anyone on here can you give me a small scouting report on what you have seen from Lamb during his tenure in OKC?

Flashes. That's all I can say. Weird. He's a decent enough shooter, not fantastic, but will have an occasional game when he's on and puts up 20. In between those he's not and just is invisible out there mostly. Lengthy and athletic, but seems to get lost on D at times and not quick enough to make up for lapses. Seems to have effort issues on that end. Garbage time hero though.

You obviously don't know LP at all if you think he has college bias. He quite openly and successfully separates his love for college ball and his love for NBA ball.

Once he starts bashing everyone equally then I can say he doesnt have bias, Henderson can miss a wide open layup and its crickets, Kemba makes one mistake and its off with his head. Im not the only one to notice this. Maybe its not college bias but its surely something.

I've bashed Henderson as much or more than anyone on here. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Get off my ass, its annoying.

LOL not even close but whatever dude I couldn't care less just calling it how I see it.

I gotta agree with Joe here. LP, you do have your picks.

Everyone has their favorites, but calling it college bias is idiotic as hell. Henderson isn't even in my top 3 of my favorites on the team.

Your the ONLY person who bashes Walker the way you do and your a grown man you can do whatever you want just dont be shocked when people call you out on it thats all im saying.

I only bashed Walker when he was shooting horribly from the field the first month and a half. Have rarely said a bad thing about him since, since he had played pretty well up until his injury.

Off topic now.

[Joest2003]

Honestly, if the kid is this good, wouldn't anyone have traded for him?

Besides the fact we already agreed to a deal sending last years triple double leader for the "garbage time hero",why do you expect a deal to be done already? The deadline is like another week and a half, no one made any trades yet. Thats like selling something while people are still bidding. Why not wait and see what you can get like every other team in the NBA right now.

LP is not the ONLY one that bash or despise Kemba. He's actually changed his ways since December on attacking Kemba after being called out on it enough. There's a few that prolly dislike Kemba a lot more but I won't say no names. LP definitely not the ONLY or even Kemba's biggest critic. It just seem that way because he's active in game threads.

Thread getting close to being locked. Drop the personal stuff and talk about the topic. As Slam said last week, we are done allowing this type of behavior on the board.

Please don't lock the Black Sheep Jeremy Lamb thread until after the trade deadline.

I just don't see "bidding" happening, its not like teams haven't had time. He was drafted in 2012, and was passed for PT by guys younger than him. And lets not act like teams are lining up for Lance either.

Lol. Teams are definitely not lining up for Lance. Thats a fact, unfortunately.

Why would you expect to see bidding happening are you working in the front office?

I'm sure there's plenty of teams around the league showing interest in Lamb but Presti might be asking for too much for a benchwarmer and that's why he's still in OKC.

[catch20two]

OKC was about to get Brook Lopez for Lamb and Perkins' expiring corpse. No way you can tell me that Lamb has NO VALUE. Presti's asking price is just too much.

That and if presti trades him he would be admitting the Harden trade was a failure and possibly the worst move in recent NBA history (not like everyone doesn't already know that)

2 offers available for Lopez:

JJ Hickson and Javale McGee

Perkins, Lamb, Lance



And I'd argue Perk is better given he's expiring than McGee. So there's that.
