Smdh. Because they weren't identical. Lamb signed for 31,500,000 and the MLE is only worth 29 million over 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't add on to it. You're basically asking why your $25 gift card isn't worth $29 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 530 Report post Posted July 2, 2019 Ok I really don’t understand the complexity of these cost restrictions. So we couldn’t go over the cap to sign lamb? And is aminu that much better than jmart ? This signing just makes zero sense. Shooting is what we lack, so let’s sign another non shooting forward. Great idea?!

Great idea?! We were over the cap before free agency started so we only had the mid level exception to use on free agents. The only way to sign Lamb was if we renounced Ross and vucevic. Aminu can shoot alright. 35% from 3 over the past 4 seasons and 39% over 40 career playoff games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 2, 2019 Also why are you guys complaining so much about shooting but also pushing for Jeremy Lamb who isn't a good shooter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted July 2, 2019 2 hours ago, ?4thewin said: He averaged 22 points 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game against Toronto. He was Philly's best player and the main reason that series went to 7 games It just appears that his above averge offense and good/great defense aren't conducive to winning. Although they aren't similar players he's like the better version of Tobias or Gay. Miami may have not had another choice but that doesn't mean he isn't overrated from a league stand point. He may be worth max money but he will never win being the #1 guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because that bunch of stuff is pretty unimpressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
