Hornets offering 22nd pick to teams if they'll also take Hawes or Lamb's contract

Just saw this.

If they aren't enamored with anyone in the draft, I think this makes sense. I think they really would like to sign Marvin, Lin, and Lee. I think many are thinking we would be drafting a replacement to fill their role but the front office may not see the value at 22. 

Personally, I wanted Wade Baldwin as a replacement for Lin but he's shot up the boards recently. So I can see why they are considering this.

The Front office is full of idiots, I hope they give up their first rounder, Hawes or Lamb, and trade up for Thon.  Let him progress in the D-League a few years.

I'd rather them take Hawes, but I'm not sure who needs a pick and is willing to add empty salary.

Hawes only has a year left, he would be dead weight.  His contract is for sure the most likely to move.  Lamb on the other hand has at least 3 years left.

What is up with this Lamb contract?   We signed him and then he hardly played, now we want to get rid of him?   What a fail.

Not sure we'd be moving up in this situation

Weird to me, neither of the contracts are especially big, and they'll look damn good after this offseason.

Yeah, after that Tweet came out that pipe dream went out the window.  

[Wundrbread33]

Does our front office have any plans or is this just a day by day kind of deal?

Sounds Cho loved Lamb and Clifford has different feelings about him. Hate to speculate but that situation does give legs to the rumor that Cho/Clifford seem to operate on different spectrums.

very weird, my illogical fan sensor is beeping, we must be going after durant!

Lamb is still incredibly young, I don't understand this at all.  Lamb showed flashes last year.  Maybe his work ethic sucks or something.

Lamb just isn't good enough on defense for Clifford to play him, he makes way too many mistakes. He also throws some of the worst, laziest passes I've ever seen on the offensive end. I like Lamb, but I can see why he doesn't play from a coaching perspective.
