I'm sure he'd be a sought after assistant if he decides on coaching as a career path. Also still has strong UCONN ties iirc.

Kemba always had the disposition to make a terrific NBA coach imo.

Charlotte's GOAT. Watching him was one of the best experiences in an otherwise dreadful journey as a fan of this team.

The best player, the best ambassador and the most beloved player in franchise history.

Retire his jersey, hire him in like any role in the organization, I don't care. Kemba deserves every honor this organization can offer him. I hope our new owners realize it.

Thanks for the memories Kemba, Charlotte loves you

Is there any fondness for Jordan, who let Kemba walk for nothing rather than pay him?

No because it was a solid trade in retrospect.

Would've been except we rerouted all the money we saved by not signing him, to Gordon Hayward, and then dumped more into Terry, committing ourselves to the dreaded play-in treadmill because Mitch couldn't **** help himself

it was the right call, kemba couldnt play up to that contract, his knees were on the way out.

i wish he was traded out a year or so earlier, so people realise how good he was at his peak.

just want to thank Kemba for giving me one of the best sports memories of my life. watching him hit this buzzer beater in Toronto. (I'm just out of frame behind the basket) the feeling of your team winning huge in an opposing arena is electric.
