You're not getting any of those players straight up, let alone getting a pick as well.

Lol come on now RR. I know you love Walker to death, we all do, but he is certainly expendable if the right deal comes along.

Isaiah Thomas being drafted last overall and turning out like he has is incredible. Hes better than Walker right now and making a tenth of what Walker is making.

only reason he wasn't drafted a lot higher was his height...people overrate size so much

Kemba is listed at 6'1.

Hes 5'11.5 at best. Thomas is listed at 5'9, probably shorter.

Doesn't matter if you are lightning fast and can shoot 42% from 3.

If Kemba would attack the rim more he would be so much better, he has shot more midrange shots than shots in the paint...that HAS to change

Would have gotten a good offer last year, but this year thats a big negative. I find it appalling how he can get himself so open and not hit a 15 footer.

He was more inefficient to start last season too (shot 39.6 / 26 while scoring less) so I wouldn't be too worried just yet. He's probably like Westbrook, who's slow to start every year but picks it up and scores better as the season goes on. No reason to trade him for Goran Dragic just yet. :lol:

One could only hope that we could get Dragic for Walker. Pipe dream.

Trade Kemba to the Knicks already. They'll give you guys Iman Shumpert + Tim Hardaway Jr + 2018 1st rounder + 2019 1st rounder + 2020 1st rounder. It would work because I know how much you guys love 1st round draft picks. Shumpert also is somewhat of a fan favorite on the board, and Hardaway Jr. provides 3-point shooting

You're crazy if you want to trade Kemba for two years of Dragic. Kemba's gotten off to a slow start- Dragic has started quickly. It's all going to even out in the end.

Kemba needs two more things to get better.

1) attack the rim more often

2) Feed the bigs once he's in the paint or make a pass to our free "shooters"

I would like to add a consistent three ball here as well. Those three improvements would make him pretty lethal
Mike Malone was never given a fair chance in Sacramento, and Ranadive will soon come to regret that, when he's on top of the WC inevitably contending somewhere

All of the above. The problem is that it's hard to get in the paint when defenses purposely crowd it because we don't have no "shooters". Exactly why Hendo and Taylor always receive kick out passes from him where they are "free "shooters"" but opt to pump fake or hold the ball instead of shooting what's widely considered a wide open 3 by NBA standards.

Iman Shumpert is like the yang to the yin that is Randy Foye. They are very similar players to me, with Foye being better offensively, and Shumpert being more defensively aware. Shumpert's notoriety among fans & perception around the league is certainly a product of the NY media
