It is surreal and like looking into the eyes of the Devil! The East keeps getting better and better, LOL if Kemba misses the playoffs in Boston after turning heel. Thanks for the memories, Kemba but as for the future:

Not mad at Kemba
He did better by the Hornets then they did by him.
Wish he retired in Teal
But, I hope Boston sucks and that he isn’t worth the money for them

I’m surprised at the amount of Hornets fans that are actually angry at Kemba for leaving.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

I'm not angry, I think I was ready to move on as much as he was. We weren't winning anything, a change was needed

I kinda had fever dreams last night and kept waking up and thinking, "I can't believe Kemba is gone."

Love this dude, such a fighter. Will be rooting for him to get the attention he deserves and hopefully he can make a few deep runs in Boston.

That is before Hornets build a competitive team in 2-3 years.

He wrote a piece for players tribune. Hard not to root for this guy. Respect his decision.

He did a great job for Charlotte when he was here so I definitely appreciate that.

I have zero interest in pulling for him now that he's in Boston though.

My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Props to those that are ready to read Kemba's player tribune article, I need some time to process all this before I can do that.

Going to miss him. The best player in franchise history. He deserves better than what we gave him combined in money and surrounding talent. He gave everything he had while he was here and you can’t ask for any more.

It’s time to move on and start a proper rebuild and not give TERRY **** ROZIER 58 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

Good gracious you guys are terrible.

Y'all need to get some perspective and stop the boo hooing with the first world problems.

I'm truly jealous of you if you've led a nice enough life that the departure of a basketball player you have no connection to, other than he plays for the team you like, hits you this hard.
