Haha21 million here and 21 million there and pretty soon you're talking about real money!
If Lamb is worth 21m for 3 years, there is a place for Boat. Who plays brilliant D and brings passion.Haha
Lamb being worth 21 million has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Boat can make it in the NBA, what a bizarre theory.If Lamb is worth 21m for 3 years, there is a place for Boat. Who plays brilliant D and brings passion.
Jeremy Lamb is also 7 inches taller and plays the same position. There's more to basketball than defense and passion.If Lamb is worth 21m for 3 years, there is a place for Boat. Who plays brilliant D and brings passion.
Everybody knows about the TV deal, $7M a year is still a lot of money for a guy with not much of a track record after 3 years. The deal was more a testament to Lamb's draft position and the Hornets belief in his potential. I think Lamb will more than live up to the deal but its easy to understand why NBA twitter was acting like cornballs over the deal.With this salary and many others this year, people completely forget the insane raise in salaries due to the NBA's new TV deal. There has been about a 30% increase in salary due to the new money being brought in. If a player like Amir Johnson in Boston can command $12 million (albeit a one year deal) then Lamb is worth around the 5-7 million range. Heck, Jae Crowder is commanding $7 million over 5 years, and although I see Crowder a better player, he and Lamb are similar in ability. May have been a slight overpaying, but not by more than $1.5 million a year.
I hate to be a downer, but with drummond dominating and lamb on the rise someday we are going to look back on the 2012 season and say, wtf...
Especially if bazz can start getting some pt in orlando.
