Jeremy Lamb
It is a bit surprising to see Jeremy Lamb on potential buyout lists. Had he remained with the Indiana Pacers through the deadline, it would make a little more sense. Indiana is in a semi-rebuild and will be seeing what their young players have the remainder of the season.
However, he didn’t remain with the Pacers. He was traded to the Sacramento Kings in the blockbuster Domantas Sabonis/Tyrese Haliburton deal. In his first game with the Kings, Lamb 30 minutes, scoring 14 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists.
He hasn’t played since with what the team is calling an ankle injury. Despite that, some people believe he could be bought out. The Kings have also acquired Donte DiVincenzo since then, who could be in line to take a majority of his minutes.
If Lamb is bought out, one team that makes sense as a landing spot is the Dallas Mavericks.

Dallas was one of the teams linked to him when he was still on the Pacers and they could be even more interested now with Tim Hardaway Jr. recovering from surgery.
