If true and he's just trolling...he should stop.

Well tbh kembas value is the highest that it'll likely get. His contract isn't too bad post cap jump and if they can get a similar value two way big man in return then they'll likely pull the trigger an rebuild around a Lin Batum MKG wing lineup. It adds a lot more defense as everyone is proper sized for their positions and keeps 2 facilitators for the starting lineup.

However I honestly don't see much of a market for him. Great scorer but that's all he brings along with his glaring negatives in size defense shot selection.

But man he's soooooo much better than before its crazy.

That's a decent trade proposal...I'm a fan of Jrue Holliday but he's been a bit injury prone....Like Kemba, Jrue is a shoot-first PG but much more balanced than Kemba...He also does have great size at 6'4 unlike Kemba.

Saying that, I'm not sure Pelican would make such a trade because they'd prefer a PG that could pass to A.Davis...Kemba wouldn't be a great fit to pair up with their franchise player...Getting Rubio from the Wolves for Jrue would make more sense for the Pelicans.

If the Hornets are ready to at least see what's available for Walker, I think they should prioritize an athletic rim-protecting center that can also score....

A guy that I had bough up a week ago is Brook Lopez and some Hornets fan thought it was ridiculous...Lopez is a legit low post scorer and while not a great defender, does have solid stats in blocks/rebound...Lopez would be a huge upgrade on Al/Zeller/Hawes.

If I'm the Hornets, I'd strongly consider Kemba for Lopez, IF the Nets would go for it...The Nets would probably demand Charlotte 1st round pick since Kemba is not the perfect PG...

Kemba is from New York City, so my guess is he probably wouldn't mind going back home..He usually gets pumped up when he plays the Knicks in NYC.

Starting 5 below would make it into the playoff and possibly win a round.

C: Lopez
PF: William
SF: Batum
SG: MKG

I like Kemba but he needs new scenery and the Hornets fans would be happy to get this pass-first tall PG that they think will take them to the promised land. I'm for the people. Don't mistake this for trolling. I would love to see Kemba and Anthony Davis on the same team. Maybe MKG would consider teaming up with them.

I'm a MKG fan first. I like Kemba tho. This season has been very bitter for me with MKG hurt. That's why I haven't been near as active as usual.

But as far as the trade proposal I just want Charlotte fans to get this magical Magic Johnson/John Stockton hybrid PG they've been longing for that averages 10 assist with the teammate powers to turn Cody into a all star and MKG into LeBron.

Might want to get in on a multi-team trade that can net Jeff Teague or Dennis Shroeder with Kemba going out to another team other than the Hawks.

Kemba is a problem when he try to play hero ball.

I get it. Jordan wants him in the all stars game. I just hope he doesn't play like this after the reserve is selected.

Kemba goes into hero ball mode because he don't trust his teammates. Can't blame him since I don't trust them much either. Take Kemba off this team and I don't even think they're sniffing playoff contention. That's just my take.

I just traded for Kemba in my fantasy keeper league. It's a league me and my mates have had going for over 10 years now.

Kemba's game better not fall off a cliff now. I'm leading the league but really need 3's and steals.

Don't fail me now KemVP.

I'd rather give the keys to Brian Roberts but fortunately for us we have a better PG in Jeremy Lin. I hope a team do entertain a Kemba trade this deadline. Like I posted in the game thread, now is the best time to put him on the trade block while he's at a high.

If this come from an elite player, then I will let it slide. But Kemba himself is unproven nor he is elite. So about the "trust", really just selfish.

I see where Lowry has some type of nagging injury so maybe even if Kemba is left off (Which he shouldn't be) he can make the team anyway.

who did you trade?

Monroe for Kemba straight up.

I need 3's and steals and with Myles Turner coming on and MKG coming back should be able to make up easily what Monroe was giving me.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I think Monroe for Kemba is a good deal, as long as you can deal with the FG% hit. Maybe you can make up the drop in FG% with a rise in FT%. You must beat Sho.

I initially offered Monroe to Kezz for Lowry. He said it was a good offer and he was close to pulling to trigger, but Lowry is his best player and couldn't afford to loose him.

Kemba was plan B. Chicka pulled the trigger straight away, no questions asked.

If Kemba keeps playing well, MKG comes back rebounding, blocking and stealing shots like a champ and Myles Turner is the real deal I think I've got Sho beat.

This could make or break my relationship with Kemba though.
