Yes, we may be a handful but it's all done out of love.

It's time to build around our leader and play KEMBALL. Go get Lamb. Bring back Adrien. Get another rim protector behind Biz. Get more shooters. And get a good backup PG that could be Kemba's Shabazz if not Shabazz himself.

Kemba - Shabazz - Lamb - Adrien - Drummond.

Eh MI, whether we're building around Kemba, MKG, or Biz, or even Zeller, none of them are shooters, so where the shooters at?

PPG creeping towards 20.0, up to 19.2

I'm keeping it until my epiphany of us acquiring Jeremy Lamb come true and he become our starting SG ...or until he's out of the league (overseas or retired)

That's right Kemba. Don't play until the front office make moves that you approve of. That's what 'star' players do

This is bad news. We are absolutely screwed if anything happens.

Our whole team is falling apart. Nobody wants to play with Lance. This look like a boycott. He wasn't limping or playing gimpy. Nobody with a sore knee does stepback shots like he do. He's boycotting.

It's suspicious enough to conjure up the possibility. Kemba never opts to miss games, and he showed no signs of being injured throughout the week, or the last game. This come off as possible posturing, similar to how LeBron James did with the Cavaliers until they traded Dion Waiters and brought in a center (Timofey Mozgov)

You people are nuts if you think Kemba's injury is an excuse for boycotting due to Lance's injury. I really really hope you guys are joking. I'm more worried that Kemba's knee is a problem.

MasterIchiro · Post #1694 » by **MasterIchiro** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:46 pm

Sitting Kemba has the effect of cautioning other teams we may need to keep Lance. It's a subtle message. If Hendo goes out with injury, we go right back to needing to keep Lance.

If it's been there since high school, and he's never missed a game due to knee issues (only that sprained ankle), and he's only 'questionable' to miss Saturday's game...

...something's worth sniffing around for

Let's be honest, Kemba and Stephenson haven't looked like friends on the court together, and Kemba has made statements about not feeling like he's been having fun on the court earlier in the year, and that possibly being the reason for his early struggles

At some point, you have to put 2-and-2 together

I think he'll play. I disagree Kemba is holding out. I think he's fine to play and the Hornets are just staging more minutes for Lance. Cliff just got through saying Lance would be at 15 minutes. They need to showcase Lance.

At the same time it doesn't hurt to concoct a scenario where they suggest Kemba + Hendo could go down at any time and they would have to keep Lance on the roster if that's the case. The message is they can find a use for him and don't have to move him. The message is there are scenarios where we need him more than teams might guess.
