Kemba won't be able to play 20-25 mpg. He really can't, his knees wouldn't hold.

Wouldn't it have been better if DAL just did a SnT with Brunson for Kemba before? Sure it would have cost Cuban money but it would have given the Mavs a 9 mil expiring deal to package along with Powell's expiring at least. 20 mil in expirings could have landed a starting caliber player.

It's an upgrade over Campazzo so I won't complain. Seriously, look at Campazzo's numbers. Kemba can at least still score some

Sometimes, the best things that happens to the Mavs is they don't get the free agent. Kemba Walker a couple years ago was a prime example.

This hopefully gives Kidd a player he can trust.

He should be better than Campazzo. He’s got the experience over Jaden.

Jaden will get his chance later in the year. He’s still a bit raw. More TOs than assists right now and fouls a lot.

They didn't get even FA, who was playing for them. Not doing anything is for sure not the way to go.

A much bigger problem than we need.

The Mavs PO is incompetent. As simple as that.

They are incompetent, we've been screaming for another ball handler and they told us we have Frank, but this is a very low risk move that can yield high return, I'm not sure why it's getting a lot of hate.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

I like the signing, it presents no risk. The incompetence comment was just a general observation.

At least, Kemba is a natural shooter to space the floor when everyone struggle. Underrated player.

If (and is a big if) he can stay on the floor, yes.
He can score, dribble and pass the ball.
He is an upgrade over Frank, Pinson and other cheerleaders on the bench. That's sure.

The problem is the management, everybody knew that we needed a 3rd ballhandler before the start of the season but that stupìd Cuban talked bullsh*t like every year and screwed fans and the team.

We are in front of usual ineptitude and incapacity.

He's not underrated at all. Anybody that knows his game realizes what he's able to do and not able to do, but he's going to be a huge negative for us on defense.

He was activated for last night's game vs Phoenix so I'm assuming we'll see him get some minutes soon.
