Luka and Coach Carlisle dragged Dallas into the 1st round 7th game.

I think it might be a little early to call it but it may be in Mavs interest to completely offload KP’s contract.

Considering we basically have two of their draft picks and they don’t really have any desirable player outside of Luka...... they are basically stuck until they decide to waive KP.

He doesn’t even have a good attitude and he sucks.

At this point, probably only if Dallas throws in another first round draft pick to make it worthwhile for another team to eat his salary. At $18-20m he would be a worthwhile risk, but not at $30m. Sadly, he has become the next Bargnani.

For all he is getting paid to be strictly a 3-point spot up shooter, he is not even elite at that, you would want a guy like that to shoot at least over 40% from long distance.

And the fact that Hardaway Sr. is now openly calling KP "a throw-in" in the trade with the Knicks certainly does not reflect lots of team cohesion over there in Dallas.

The only way to trade KP is to take on an even worse contract. Kemba on the Mavs is a terrible fit. How will he share the ball with Luka?

And if Sancto wants to be rid of Bagley so bad, why would they not simply let him walk for free? Is there something anyone sees that is holding KP back with Dallas?

How many on this thread would want the Knicks to take back KP and his contract for free, (or, say, just a low second round pick or an S&T for Frank) just blow our cap space for him. And stick with a Randle-KP-RJ core for the next 3 years?

Kemba has bad knees. That is why the Celtics want him gone. Stay far away from that guy. It is the reason why he has been so inconsistent this year.

Maybe so, but unfortunately for Dallas they can’t trade a first until 2025. Only worthwhile pieces they have are Brunson, DFS, and maybe Maxi. Even without the pick like if I’m Detroit, Orlando, or even Sac I might just eat the cap space.

I think they waive him after next season. His contract is so large it’s still just too soon to eat it.

Kemba I don’t see but Kings interest makes sense. Not sure if they want to pay Bagley + Holmes. Harrison Barnes would likely have to be included in that who is more valuable than KP but maybe if they threw in Brunson as well it could get done.

Phew, maybe it wasn’t just us!

I was about to say the same thing. If the Hawks are going to score 42 in a quarter vs the sixers maybe our defense was still good. We just might have under estimated how good their offense is.

Ya mean there was a possibility that Knick fans overreacted and looked to throw the baby out with the bath water? Nah....

His comments “its always something” is so off base publically. The optics just looks bad. If you think your a star then just talk like one. This embattled victim thing is a bad look. He can say his leg has slowed him down and he looks forward to getting stronger.

That they finished with as good a record as they did and took Clips to 7 is not really awful. Luka is incredible but physically his body does not rate as good as his talents and he gets tired. He is a bit slow but fundamentally superior. I doubt he’ll ever morph into a Lebron, Kawahi or Manu type body. thats not who he is.

KP is also flawed wit arrogance, Anemic condition, no ass core composition and a **** face attitude.

Kemba is trash bro

Yeah, seems like it. Maybe not worth it even if we were to get a first round pick. Glad we did not sign him a couple of years ago. He was definitely the odd K out that off-season.
