Why do people think Kemba can be traded?.  Another Danny Ainge mistake. When a knee goes its over. Remember Dustin Pedroia?  We have three years left of a guy that played horribly against Miami and it will be downhill  from here. You couldn't get a bag of basketballs for him in a trade.

Where did it go?  He's taking precautions to make sure he's strong all season long.

The phrase typically means an injury that requires reconstructive surgery. You can be injured without having it be to the fullest extent

They don't put stem cells in a good knee.  He is cooked. Did you see how he played vas Miami?  Was horrible.  His quickness is gone and that's about all he had.

Goukki, that is the problem that folks do not realize here. Kemba does not have an injury he has a degenerative knee condition. This condition is caused, aggravated, and lit up by repetitive stress. You know like that experienced by a basketball player. Once they started treating him with synvisc his future as a basketball player was in jeopardy.

Can safely assume you didn't watch any of that series if this is your take away, lol.

Averaged 20/5/4 on a FG% above his career average despite being completely hobbled. Ridiculous.

If your objective is to come here, troll and be antagonistic, you won't be here for long

We've seen players manage degenerative knees, chief among them Dwyane Wade.

It's not like he's Brandon Roy and facing level 3 arthritis in his knee.

Kobe Bryant used to go have the same thing done in Germany that Kemba had.  I don't think Kobe's career suddenly ended because his knee went!

That may be true but they do not seem to be saying much about his diagnosis. He will have to adjust his game can he become a spot up gunner like Ray Allen?

He's not going to be the first guy to deal with this stuff.  He's not going to fall off a cliff.  He's going to play his game.

Kemba will continue to be a good, not great, player. Maybe continue as an all-star, albeit not the starter of the East.

If we could somehow ship him out and bring Harden in, that’s worth it. Otherwise, we’re married to the guy as it does more harm than good to trade him. Might as well love him.
