He'll likely be waived before he packs his bags in his apartment in Chicago.

He has a chance to be, possibly, the greatest player of all time.

I have very vague recollections of maybe seeing him in a Knicks jersey at one point but otherwise could not have identified this player.

There is a highlight clip of Kornet too.


Going back to my post from 2 days ago.

If you didn’t know, now you know. Embiid already knows. Kornet owns property in Embiid’s head.

Yeah, I remember Kornet having his time in the sun last season in my fantasy league. Managers were rushing to the waiver wire to get him lol. That's literally the only reason I knew he existed back then.

After his victory cigar type performance against OKC, Boston will give him the key to the city.

He'll have to beat Tacko Fall for garbage minutes. Can't see that happening.


I see he was a Vanderbilt dude, so there's a connection with Nesmith right there. They can solve math problems on the chalkboard together.

Also, we got somebody in that magic spot between 6'8'' and 7'24''. I'm genuinely excited about that.

He does look like a math teacher as well! Do you know where I can get one of those haircuts like his which pretend to cover up baldness?

Time to take the maybe out of the thread title. He's not going anywhere.

The Bulls are about to be sorrier than the 1980 Warriors were when they traded us Parish. :nod:

I'm not ready to say that he's gonna be a big rotation player. Tonight we played ostensibly, a G-League team in OKC. He hasn't done much in his career thus far. That said, I've seen a few clips from him. He's not completely a stiff. He can move a little bit and he has a jumpshot. If guys will remember that he can pop he might actually be helpful in 5-out stuff. He's intriguing, I'll say that much.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Kornet has already contributed more to winning in thirteen minutes than Poirier did in a hundred and thirty.

Sorry for Luke Kornet, but I hope he's waived very soon and they sign Gorgui Dieng as their backup Center.

Because he had a good game against a bunch of 19-20 year old kids in OKC?

Kornet is still 50/50 at best to survive the season in Boston

Not the best idea to put down the Thunder, as they only have 3 more losses than us this season.

Kornet had a great game for the Celtics and hopefully can continue to contribute. The fact is if Ainge gets his wish then Drummond would be here today and Kornet gone tomorrow.

Wagner is better player than Kornet in overall but i think Luke offers more to our team. Shooting from bench is one of the biggest area of the celtics and we exactly saw what it means yesterday. Instead giving time to scrubs like Ojeleye, Grant giving it to shooters who can create space for Jays brothers is a benefit for the team. We need better players than Kornet for sure but he is one of the best shooter in our bench if not the best right now which is unfortunate . Hopefully Fournier will be available soon and we will back on track

NBA league average 3pt% - .367

Semi - .392
Grant - .416

Kornet - .308

I'm happy for the kid and hope he does well but.... what?
