People mocked me when I started this thread but not so funny now? This is why people drop off this forum after only a few posts because your ideas are bullied into submission by the long term ‘majority’.
This was a forward thinking and relevant idea given, Kemba’s age in comparison to the core of Tatum, Brown & Smart (to a lesser extent), his height and his knee issues.
It was because you talked about replacing him even before he had played a single match... And therefore none trade idea were realistic nor thinkable at the time. Now I admit that in compareason of "fire CBS" thread or " this team has reached it's ceiling", it's something more probable.
But personnaly I doublt we would have something better in a trade. It was his first year here. A little liabilty in defense, but it wasn't IT level... Irregularity in offense...
But he has a very good mentality, is a part of the stability of team, and even if it didn't work well ag Heat, he can be a dreadfull 3rd scoring option. If we catch a better big to pick N roll or Pop, he will be even luch more important in our offense.
And don't forget it's his first year here, with this role and first year with a PO run... For that he is new.
If his knee stays OK, he will be usefull until the end of his contract (finshing maybe as a 6th men). His contract is expensive, but sometimes you have to overpay players to get a post you cibled or a referenced player.
Whatever I don't believe in Smart and Hayward leading the gard post.
