Yeah that's my price too. You take Noah and I'll give you my first and two second rounders.

Nah, but I'd take a chance at George or Cousins before the deadline.

I don't see it. There is a good chance we pick our own kemba at 15.

Not worth it for either side. Charlotte needs another stud to add to Kemba, not to trade for another lottery ticket in the middle of the draft. They'd be better off paying Kemba his max than doing this. It doesn't work for the Knicks because it maxes us out once we resign Kemba. We're two years from KP's qualifying offer, and I'm sure we'll be offering the max, so that's just two years which we'll be able to add to the team via free agency. We'll be losing cap flexibility AND picks.

Lance Thomas for Maurice Harkless
Frank Ntilikina, Kyle O’Quinn and 2018 Knicks 1st for Kemba Walker


I'm pretty sure both opposing teams hang up before those deals can be articulated.

Would you say the same about Dame Lillard? because they're practically identical statistically the past 3 years...

ITT: People who don't know how good Kemba has actually been. If he was pushed by a big sneaker company, rapped in his free time, or was in a big market he'd be much more appreciated. Not saying the package OP listed is something I would give up but if Charlotte came in asking for our 1st this year/ Bulls pick/ and Hernangomez I would do it in a heartbeat.

We already have the guy to take us to the next level. Kemba shouldn't be your best player but as a 2nd best? He's fantastic.

I think Kemba is a lock to the Knicks in 2019 Free Agency

Kemba Walker is awesome. And he's on a fantastic deal. Fall back haters.

Spoiler:
can be had for the right price too. Ayo! I'll need a can't miss young point back.

I’d wait b/c I do think we can sign him in 2019, if we open up the space.

But he is being criminally underrated in this thread. I guess that’s expected since some think AD isn’t that great

I agree. Like I said earlier, him and Dame have almost identical numbers over the past 3 years and even if you give Dame the slight edge offensively, Kemba has always been a more focused defender than Dame has. Whether it's through trade (as long as it's reasonable and doesn't involve Frank or Kp obviously) or FA I would welcome Kemba with open arms.

getting kemba is like drafting DSJ(meaning they're very similar and DSJ looks to be a similar player to him).... so with that being said, get him here (in 2019 though, lets build our core first.)

kemba
frank
troy brown jr
