Lamar would be another very interesting candidate for a FA pick up. He's not been what he was in a Lakers Uni, for either Dallas or the Clippers. ( In a Lakers Uni, he was all-star level productive.) He's also going to 34 next season. I expect him not to get big money next year - maybe even the vet min.
The interesting this is that his rebounding (rate = 16.9%), block (rate = 3.0%), steals (rate = 2.3%) are all still above career averages, just for the past couple of years, his shot has been broken: Total FG% in the lakers years .491, with Dallas and LAC .371. His athleticism hasn't gone, and I wonder if Chip and a motion-structured offense could fix his shot for him...
He's another cheap veteran who I would take a long look at, just like Mike Dunleavy. Versatile, high skills, smart...
