Jeremy Lamb (NBA free agency)

[Matrim55]

I enjoyed this write-up:

We all know Kemba's one of the biggest fish in the sea this summer, but it's nice to see Jeremy getting some love as well. I hope he gets a big, fat bag – and also plays for a team that gets on national TV a bunch. Could make a lot of sense for the Sixers tbh.

For Jeremy it has to be an ideal fit - he had it at Charlotte and with Kemba
His psyche is very fragile and it often dictates where he takes his game
He either needs a strong role model team mate or a strong coach - a Brad Stevens-like mentor
Should be interesting and I wish him nothing but the best and lots of $

He'll likely get the MLE with a contender or maybe up to a $30m/3year deal with a 2nd tier team with cap space and good rookies.

New Orleans?

New Orleans?

Could be a good spot

Indiana is most likely losing Bojan, Thad Young, Collison, Wes Matthews, and Cory Joseph. They definitely lost Tyreke Evans. I can see him filling into that 2/3 role while Oladipo is recovering. Pacers other options are Dougie Buckets, unproven Aaron Holiday, recently acquired TJ Warren and the youngster Ed Sumner. I think Jeremy could be a great fit given their cap space flexibility and the need for a scoring wing.

They've got a full starting 5 plus Hart there.

He is going to get more than the MLE. There are not a lot of shooting guards out there and there is a lot of money to burn out there.

I'd imagine he could end up at something like 3 years/$45 million.

I'd imagine he could end up at something like 3 years/$45 million.

I agree that 3 years in the $13-15M/year is the most likely scenario, but if I'm JL's agent, I'm pushing for 5 years at $10-12M/year. That sets him up nicely at age 32 for one final 3-5 year contract.

I've never seen a 5 year deal outside the 5year max some guys are eligible for. I don't think they're even allowed to in the new CBA. I'd be shocked if he got more than 3 years. Not many teams lock up money long term for role players anymore.

That would be great. My guess is more the 10-12 per year for 3 years but I am hoping you are right.

There were dudes on this board claiming he wasn't gonna get paid tho...

Positional scarcity is gonna drive his value up. Still good for him though.

 

[the Q]

Him and kemba to Boston would be a nice fit.

Thought this was interesting from fivethirtyeight.com:
"In fact, based on FiveThirtyEight’s CARMELO player projection model, Lamb is projected to provide $22.3 million worth of production per season in his deal. Only four players who reached agreements Sunday — all of whom were max-level stars3 — are projected to outproduce their deals by more than the $12 million per season that the 27-year-old Lamb is expected to.

Thankfully you are not his agent.
