Time to move on from Kemba. If you can’t stay healthy for the playoffs even after all the management during the season, then you’ll never stay healthy.
Let’s go all-in and use Kemba (salary filler), a buttload of picks, and one or two of our promising youngsters to go get a KAT or Beal type. Tired of the treadmill team.
Yup two years and no big contract Kemba in playoffs . Best to move his contract , chalk it up Danny as a learning experience , waste of cap space.
Kemba might literally be one of the worst contracts in the NBA now, or if not definitely Top-5 in that category I feel. Idk how you can dump him or work on some trade where you can get rid of him and get back someone like Beal/KAT.
You could hope a disgruntled player asks out and wants to play here but even then why would a team feel obligated to take back Kemba. They'd have to find a way to sweeten the deal. No way you can just dump Kemba. I don't think "Kemba, 1-2 young guys like Romeo/Nesmith and picks" is going to get it done. Definitely will take Smart in a package and probably another real asset in addition.
I do think ultimately they'll have to find a way to add another star, or at least another real #3 option to go with Jaylen and Tatum. Fournier is nice, but as more of a 3B or 4th option IMO. Shouldn't need to break the bank to keep him anyways. If they want to contend, make a move and go past the luxury tax for a bit. Otherwise enjoy these middling seasons.
