So I was just thinking about it. I don't know if Kemba met teams right before his FA or had a lot of contact with them, but a lot of reports said teams like the Knicks and Mavericks would go after him if he left the Hornets. But many assumed he'd return to the Hornets, maybe not on a true supermax, but close to it. That was before we surprisingly found out Boston was a frontrunner to sign him (according to Stein, then Woj).
My question is, if Kemba goes to Dallas instead, do you think Dallas is a true Finals threat?
I feel like he would have been a PERFECT fit there too, and while DAL obviously is a #4 seed now and a contender, I'm not sure if they have enough to take down a team like the Lakers or Clippers still in a playoff series. Maybe not even the Jazz the way they've looked lately.
And when I say Finals threat, I don't just mean, "a team with a chance", I mean a team that has just as good odds as the Lakers/Bucks/Clippers right now.
