Jeremy Lamb Rumors

Somewhere along the way once this season ends, the Hornets will have to create some wiggle room with the payroll. Bobby Marks, an ESPN front-office insider and formerly assistant general manager of the Brooklyn Nets, suggested trading Lamb as one avenue to relieve the this payroll problem. Jeremy Lamb would be attractive to other teams because he’d be coming off his best NBA season, his salary is reasonable next season at about $7.5 million, and his contract expires after next season. Of course, those would also be the reasons the Hornets wouldn’t want to lose him, after investing four seasons in his development. Trading Lamb for little more than cap relief would be pretty draconian, but something of that nature might be the only fix.
