I'd rather send him to Houston for John Wall who wants out.

Now, that might work.  Both past their prime (Kemba more so) and both unavailable for parts of the season.
I don’t know where this idea has come from, Wall is significantly worse than his prime, Kemba not nearly as much

Why would Dallas do this trade? Porzingis is 6 years younger, more productive, and a better two way player. Forget adding in Brunson, Dallas wouldn’t do this if it was straight up Kemba for KP.

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.

Zero chance we are getting anyone like Zinger for Kemba. It would take a boatload of number one picks at this point in time. We need to hope he has a bounce back season like Hayward did next year or if we really want to get rid of him, be prepared to send more 1st picks out then we received in the Nets trade for anything of value to come back. A healthy Kemba would more valuable to us next year but I am holding my breath on that happening..

I was just having this conversation with a friend... Kemba is almost spot on his career averages.

Do we know if he'll be able to play in back to back games next season?

I think Dallas would do it for the 1 year earlier end to contract.  Zinger has been awful for them.  I think he'll get injured day 1 though

That's what I was thinking. I heard that wanted to get out of his contract.

Brunson and Zinger are really good fits for Boston but I'm not really sure if Kemba fits in Dallas unless he can get past his injuries.

KP is more injury-prone, contracted for longer and is playing like trash these playoffs. He's actually getting the same amounts of rebounds per game Kemba is despite being 1'3" taller than him

If Dallas wants to move in another direction this could be possible. We could also send a pick or two there way.
