NBA Draft - Trades - Free Agents

[ViperGTS]

you are delusional and salty.

Ummm no I’m not. Dude travels half the time. Go listen to the national announcers during the playoffs, not Boston ones. Only people who are delusional are the ones who have bought the NBA’s propaganda about how great he is when he really can’t shoot past 6 feet, and just bulls his way to the basket, initiates contact himself and then draws a foul.

When he plays clean on his drives, he is amazing but not unstoppable. All to often he takes the easy way out, the officials give it to him so why would he stop?

Two NBA sources confirm @TheSteinLine report that Celtics are seriously interested in @KembaWalker. I doubt the Hornets put this thing to bed pre-emptively when free-agency opens June 30. Plenty of suitors, and I assume Kemba will listen to all the pitches.

We can scratch "stealth." Boston and Dallas are at the front of the line that will be trying to lure Kemba Walker away from Charlotte, league sources say

No to Kemba. Love him as a player but he is close to 30 and he does not make us a contender. Not without a solid vet in the front court. I don't think it is worth investing in him as much as it would be sweet to see him in green.

Would rather have a very young D'Lo or even Brogdon and go with youth.

walker is more reliable than irving ever was. brogdon is not a PG and I'll pass on russell.....

Assuming Kemba decides to play for the Celtics who is playing in the FC?

That's not the point. If Kemba was 2-3 years younger I'd take him in a heart beat over any of those guys. But if he's not going to make us a contender so why invest in a guy who is near 30 years old.

I think he does make us a contender......you fill in the 5 with flotsam the kind you saw in the NBA finals....space hogs who can knock bodies......the final 4 5's were lopez, bogut, gasol, and kanter....the 5 is not what gets you there......the 2 you proposed do not make the c's any better than with rozier

walker almost dragged a pile of garbage into the playoffs

Neither did Horford and he was still the same age and still if Hayward did not suffer the injury they might have been a contender.

If Tatum and Brown develop, you could have a contender and Kembas game translates well to mid 30s could be great for another 4-5 years

Stay close to your phone...

I've always liked Kemba Walker.

In the context of him playing here with Jason, Jaylen and Gordo, I was ok but not excited about it.

After reading this article I am so on board with it.

Kemba Walker Is the Most Interesting Free Agent No One’s Talking About

Having Kemba would be fun. With an OK big maybe we could even make it to the ECF and lose. If you're happy with that and a rebuild a few years down the road, bring him aboard.

Paying $35 mill/year for KW....do the Celts have any $$$ left to afford flotsam?

I don't think Kemba is supermax $. I like him but not that much

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Tacko is a D leaguer but intriguing nonetheless

He kind of looks like a taller version of KG. Just in terms of physical appearance.

He may develop into a fun backup center for "Geno time."

He can only receive the super max in Charlotte

 

[RobertWeathers]

He can only receive the super max in Charlotte

...and MJ aint paying that

 

[IcyPatriot]

Love Kemba and doubt he goes to Dallas where Luca craves the ball. Over here he competes for the ball with nobody ... it is why he comes here. Guards would be Walker, Jaylen, Smart, Edwards, Langford and maybe Whataburger.

I think you can sign as many guys for the minimum as you want.....another factor here is that basically, there is no FA market next year unless you want Lowry or ibaka or crap like that.

I’m ok with doing the Steven Adams thing and bringing back Rozier ....I’m not too worried, I think this team will be fun to watch
