if they are not gonna pick up PJs option, this shows a lack of faith in the guy. WHY THE fug ARE THEY STARTING HIM?

My only guess would be they would like him back but for lower $ than what the option is.  Let him become a UFA, offer him what they think he's worth, and go from there.  Its probably a risk worth taking with a developing player who has proven to be a knucklehead at times.  Just an idea.

Well Lamb certainly played as well as anyone could play after inking that contract.

i don't get the obsession with "the market" for NBA players. why does it seem like every NBA player wants to play for a "big market team"? i could understand something like old legendary franchises like the lakers, but aside from that who cares where you play? is it the fact a big market team could pay more by reaching past the soft cap?

you really don't see this as much in the NFL and it just seems odd to me that NBA players are a bunch of ego maniacs in this regard.

Players really don't care all that much where they play.  They just want to win.  Like look at Kevin Love, he was being pursued hard by the Celtics and the Lakers yet he chose to go to fuging Cleveland where there were already two stars in place so he could win.  Now yes, big market teams are going to have an easier time putting together these "super" teams because drawing a player to play in Miami or LA or to a team with history like the Celtics is just easier.  It adds to their package.  But players want to win over everything else.  That's why I don't see Durant leaving this summer.  He's not gonna go anywhere where he'll be surrounded with any more talent than he has right now in Oklahoma fuging City.  And if he does leave he'll go to Washington (his hometown) and he could make a case that he'll have a better chance to win there.  East is so much easier than the West.  But yeah I think what you're talking about is a myth.  Players just want to win.

I think is going to be a solid piece for us going forward. By the end of his contract it will look a steal 7/m a year

He was sitting on the bench. He rarely played in OKC, even though he was the main thing they got for Harden.

I'll let you know my opinion on this in about a month. I need to see him play a little, it's a bit puzzling at the moment at least.

So it's been about a month and I think we can already chalk this up as a steal. Even if he's never more than a sixth man scorer, that's way more than worth $7 million per in this environment. I think if we ran plays for him and set him up with Batum he could turn into a really good scorer.

Would like to see him eventually be a starter long term. He's everything we hoped PJ would be.

I think he has earned the right to start already, but as long as Jefferson is starting I can see why he isn't. With the injury I think we should give him a shot.
