3 perfect-fit buyout candidates the Boston Celtics must pursue

Boston Celtics buyout candidate No. 2) Jeremy Lamb

Like we said, filling in the spot that Josh Richardson held out on the wing could prove to be a top priority for the Boston Celtics and, while Kent Bazemore would provide a similar brand of two-way play (albeit, not as efficient), should they simply wish to zero in on the offensive production he provided, Jeremy Lamb could be the player to pursue.

A talent that we at the Houdini have been big on seeing the C’s pursue for quite some time now, the 29-year-old could ultimately prove to be a real difference-maker on the more glamorous side of the ball, perhaps even more so than what J-Rich was.

Throughout his decade-spanning tenure in the association, the wing has established himself as being a quality offensive contributor whilst predominantly coming off the pine.

Since 2018, Lamb holds per-game averages of 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, two assists, and a steal per game on 44 percent shooting from the floor and 36 percent shooting from deep.

Now in year 10, the veteran continues to find himself producing at quite a consistent rate despite logging his lowest MPG average (16.1) since year three.

Per 75 possessions, Lamb is boasting impressive averages of 16.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists.

A player who can excel in the catch-and-shoot department (boasted a 55.2 effective field goal percentage on such attempts this season while with the Pacers) while also being capable to going out and creating for himself, having someone like Jeremy Lamb coming off the pine could ultimately prove to be a luxury to have for the C’s and their 29th offensive rated bench.
