Kemba has been so disappointing since leaving Boston. I don't think he'll help Luka or Dallas at all.

I am not even sure Kemba is an NBA level player anymore. He can still shoot and score some but is not a prolific enough scorer anymore to outpace how much he hurts you on defense. He is a net negative. His NBA career looks over to me. He is only surviving on name recognition and reputation. Without that, he'd already be out the door.

I'd love to be wrong though. Kemba did a great job for us early on in his Boston career and he is a great guy. But I am pretty pessimistic.

Campazzo is not an nba player, not surprised he was waived. Was trying to tell someone on here this over the summer after watching him play on the decimated nuggets a lot last year in person. He is also kind of a dirty player.

Sadly agree. Sad because he is fun and can make some beautiful passes but he hurts his own team more than he helps them. Not good. Denver are better off without him. As are Dallas.

I never understood Dallas signing Campazzo. Doncic needs shooters around him. Campazzo can't shoot. He can't play with Luka. And he is not good enough offensively to be the main creator when Luka sits because Campazzo is not enough a scoring threat. He is more a of a solid ball-handling setup guard who occassionaly makes amazing passes that only a handful of guys in the league can only contemplate making, nevermind pulling off.

While true that Taiwanese clubs have been chasing their signatures, league sources say that a trio of former All-Stars — Carmelo Anthony, DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas — have thus far shown zero interest in following Dwight Howard to Taiwan.

I am not sure if Taiwan is the best place to do it, but if IT still wants to play basketball he should sign somewhere. He probably only has 3-4 more years of being able to play professional basketball even if everything broke right. Without knowing his exact offers, it’s pretty good money to the start of most nba players first job out of the league salary wise and a chance to make some connections. I realize even without the brinks truck he made more than any of us would dream of making, he is in a very different category than howard, Carmelo and cousins earnings wise. Also before anyone flames me place note I said “if he wants to play”

I think IT wants to stay in the US rather than moving his family to another country or playing overseas while they stay behind.

Yeah I obviously don’t have an argument against it if that is the case either.

The Pacers also started coming back into the game coz of LBJ taking bad shots.

Wild game between the Mavs and Warriors… Feels like a playoff game.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He either needs to adjust his game and focus on facilitating and not taking a million jump shots or he is gonna kill their team and keep being a net negative.
