Even the spurs had to revamp and also get very lucky in the draft to maintain their success.
We get Kemba and a another player... all of a sudden we start our 5 year block of being the top dogs in the yard. We can add and subtract as we go along but we would be right on top for 5 years before we have to stay retooling tge starting line up or coaching situation for he next 5 years...
Wtf... I'm down to make it happen if its real. It's not like were trading for guys in their 30s or guys with extensive injury histories. We're taking about guys in their primes.
Thats all good. But what do you think it will take to get Kemba? They want to dump salary so safe to say they wont be taking on anyone making making over 10M next year. Maybe an expiring like KO, Buckets, Kanter? But think they would want a cheap first or second year guy and a draft pick as well. So do you give up Frank, second and say Kanter for him?
Big issue I have is that they guys on the block have not made their current teams any better. Including Kemba.
You look at Batum, he was a high demand FA and yet he has not done much. Grant it he was hurt but why are they willing to give up on him? Maybe they know something we dont about both. Question for me is that if Walker is so good, then why dump him for just an expiring and first year guy?
Do like that he is only 27 and may be on the cusp of elevating his game. Again, dont think I would care either way if we can get a good deal. Think, like KI, they are going to want a lot.
Just because a good player isn't in a winning situation outs not a direct reflection on then. Charlotte has been plagued by injury. Their front office and ownership are singe ****ing regards. They keep getting duplicate players. Like why did the get Dwight Howard? That's just one example. Jordan isn't trying to win. They have to reset cuz they know they ****ed up. They need to get young guys in there to build around the **** they have
The Knicks? They have their foot right at the door of being a playoff team this year, then a top 1-5 team in the league next year. We get Kemba and then get anther starter we do that.
How do we get Kemba? We're not trading with Danny Ainge.... Charlotte might be inclined to help Kemba go to NYC if that's where he wants to go. What's it to Charlotte? they are trying to be terrible. I would trade Frank and not even blink. We could drop a high second rounder on them and some expirings. That's more than enough.
In the off season man listen... free agents are see gong to be looking at the Knicks... we still got our draft picks too... let's ****ing go. All in! The next 5 years we go for the chip. Golden state will be going down. There's no real team challenging Boston... clevland is gonna be out. It's time man
