Jeremy Lamb Trade Idea

[comingbacktousa]

Bradley Beal and Dion Waiters were both on the first team all rookie last year. Lamb didn't even get a vote for honorable mention because of his development track. Lamb's league value fell last year because he didn't play.

We know Lamb can shoot and the team will have that need next season, the question will be what will he be able to do besides shoot to help the team.

Neither Beal nor Waiters did much really though. Its just that the other wings outside of Barnes and MKG didn't do anything much either. The top 4 rookies without a doubt were Lillard, Drummond, Davis, and Val. How Waiters over them I have no clue. Waiters scored 14.7 points on 13.4 fga thats just bad. Per of 13. Yea thats not impressive to me. Waiters had one good month otherwise his numbers would be terrible. Beal at least did stretch together an impressive stretch once Wall came back.

Teams don't value rookies on whether they made first team all rookie. Anyone in the league would take Drummond and Val over Beal and Waiters.

Lamb's role is basically to be a shooter/scorer. Martin brought very little besides scoring,so if Lamb can score he'll be ok.

Except most agree that what Martin brought to the table wasn't quite enough. Is it going to be enough if Lamb doesn't provide more?

Maybe Beal and Waiters didn't do enough in your eyes, but they are considered important pieces by their respective franchises. They made some impact in their rookie seasons and that impact was reflected in the rookie team voting. At this point there is a big distance between we they are and Lamb's value.

What Martin brought wasnt enough with Westbrook out. With a healthy Westbrook, and reggie Jackson becoming a real rotational player, Martin's exactly what we needed. There's also defense, where lamb projects to be better than Martin.

Lamb will be Fine... Just give him that backup SG spot and let's enjoy the 2nd unit back court.

I don't agree. I would be open to the idea of Martin improving after a season of playing off the bench and getting even more comfortable with the team and I acknowledge that if Jackson can continue to develop that there is promise, but for most of last season Martin played poorly on the road, was inconsistent overall and seemed to become more and more one dimensional as the season wore on. By the playoffs he had simply changed the expectations through his play.

To improve their chances of contending for a championship the team needs more than what Martin alone brought to the table last year.

You guys are all nuts with Afflalo and #2 for a bunch of crap. You guys must just be joking around because these are some of the worst trades I have ever seen.

So the Magic trade the #2 pick in the Draft and the best player in the deal in Afflalo for the gift of getting the corpse of Perkins @ 18 million dollars over 2 years, the #12, guaranteed money 2nd round pick in the #28, and a 2nd year player that has played 150 minutes TOTAL in the NBA, averaged 35% from the field, and is already 21 years old.

I must be living in crazy town.
