''Danny tried like hell to move Kemba at the beginning of the year''

Yeah Kamba has bad knees...not good for a basketball player his size. Did MJ know this?

I think MJ saw a 6’ guard that was good, but not great. Someone that he couldn’t build around and thus wasn’t willing to give him a max deal. Nothing to do with him potentially having bad knees.

This could turn out to become another Isaiah Thomas 2.0

And that's not gonna look good for Danny's image. Now I'm skeptical whether free agents want to come to Boston anymore lol. Kemba's probably not gonna be happy hearing this now that this leaked out

Can you imagine

Kemba:  Danny did you tried to trade me??

Ainge:  "innocent face" no~

Kemba:  you sneaky

Ric Bucher got the scoops on all the Boston media guys?

Not buying it.

agreed.  unless a Boston beat reporter can put a solid source to this, it's just Bucher making stuff up to get clicks

And even then, the validity of the source is 50/50 or lower

Outside of Woj, Sham, Haynes and maybe the athletic ....

Its like a game or smokescreen

A simple physical would have revealed the arthritic knees. I do wonder if the ADA allows pre-employment physical for athletes, and if so what are the parameters.

Wasn’t the Kemba deal a sign and trade. Don’t trades require players to pass a physical exam?

Kemba was DA’s rebound point guard after Kyrie ripped his heart out and made him look like a fool. DA decided to make himself look like a fool twice.

1. Not trading Kyrie in 2018 and standing up for team principles
2. Overpaying for a volume scoring PG (how many of those have won NBA championships?)

For the price of a Kemba we could have two of Bogdan, Jrue, Portis, etc. etc.

That’s yet another reason why this team sucks right now and has a bench of first and second year players and third year players we know suck. Only when you mess up badly do you carry guys like G Will and Semi.
