DailyThunder.com: Report: Jeremy Lamb traded to Hornets

According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, the Thunder are sending Jeremy Lamb to the Hornets in exchange for Matt Barnes’ recently acquired contract. Barnes will not be joining the Thunder.

It’s a pretty clear move to free a roster spot, likely to add whoever the 14th overall pick is tomorrow night.

So, Lamb’s career in Oklahoma City appears over. As the key piece in the James Harden deal, he never found footing with the Thunder, falling out of the rotation any time he got in it. There was expectation that he might find new life under Billy Donovan, but clearly, the Thunder are ready to move on.
