Finally, I know Lamb has talent, so if he doesn't break out in Charlotte, I'm going to be disappointed.

This reminds me of that draft day a few years ago when Quentin Richardson got traded 3 or 4 times.

Luke Ridnour is passed around the league like a joint in a pot circle.

Salary dumping one of the main pieces of the Harden trade... ouch.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he a RFA? And weren't they a few million per year apart?

Yes. But they tried, and he wanted to leave as well, so he did. They moved on.

This confuses me, didn't OKC trade Lamb for Barnes contract. Didn't Orlando trade Luke to Memphis? How did OKC get Luke and traded Lamb again?

Also can't compare Kanter getting extension in cap boom with Harden few years ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Presti give him a choice? I thought I remember Harden saying that he got a call that was like "This is our highest offer. You can take it or we can trade you. Let me know in an hour." IIRC Harden was really conflicted and had to make a rushed decision, and he chose to turn down the offer, which obviously led to the trade.

Hornets have been very active. Third trade in less than a week.
