who's ur ideal sg

I didn't like Lamb at first but when he slipped down, I always hated how Bradley Beal got credit for playing with chuckers and having a nice three point shot... when Lamb was playing with Napier/Boatright knocking down a lot of three's and has arguably equal or better athleticsm.

Maybe we'll change from development to actually trying to win a little after the trade deadline since we'll probably for certain will have the worst record in the league by then.

Its like people forgot how BG is a turnover machine and by far our worse defender on the perimeter

The best shooting guards in the NBA have a higher turnover rate than BG (i.e. Kobe Bryant, James Harden, Manu Ginobili, O.J. Mayo, and Eric Gordon). Within saying that I also want to say that I'm not comparing BG to any of those guys but the numbers speak for itself. As far as his perimeter defense, we're going to have the worst defense in the league regardless if he plays 15 minutes or 30 minutes. It's not like the perimeter defenders that we're throwing out there already are changing that and it's mostly due to our frontcourt.

would okc trade lamb for hendo?

Can I just ask why has everyone suddenly started wanting Lamb? He has done NOTHING since the draft... What can have changed your minds since then and now? There certainly wasn't as much love for him around draft time.

liked him at uconn and for some reason i always wanted to see him and kemba reunited in the NBA

I would love Klay Thompson. I actually wanted us to pick him at #9 back in 2011 as I felt his scoring punch was exactly what we needed at the time. If we could go back in time, I would take Kemba at #7 and Thompson at #9. I will now await the attacks from the Bizmaniacs.

Speaking for myself only, I been wanted Lamb, months before the draft even, so it's not as sudden as it seems. It's just that I understood that he wasn't the best pick for us at #2 so I didn't discuss it much, but now that he's an expendable piece on a Thunder team that's looking to win-now his availability has peaked my mind. I believe that he could be the perfect all-around SG for us.

I don't understand why people believe that Lamb is expendable. I believe he does fit into OKC's long term plan as he was one of the key pieces in the James Harden deal. I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon.

When a player receives more DNP-CD's than minutes for a team that's in win-now mode, he's expendable, but not necessarily easily expendable. However, the only piece from us that I think they'll find intriguing is Ramon Sessions. I would do that, but a deal with another team for one of Hendo or BG going out will need to be in the works as well.
