I mean there has to be someone right?
If not what are the odds that Kemba comes off bench next season? As someone else pointed out in another thread, taking all his defensive woes out of the equation, kemba is the lead guard playing with a couple of young studs like Tatum and Brown and has not once had a game with at least 10 assists.
They didn't sign him to be THAT kind of playmaker and as someone else noted, considering how much Usage goes to the Jay's, it's really not surprising that he hasn't hit 10 assists. That's not the part to be concerned with. The issue is that he's an inefficient shooter (Though he is now converting at the rim which is a pleasant sign). Sending him to the bench kills what little trade value he even has.
You're gonna have to try a team like NYK, who might value bringing a native son home. They have the cap space for days and they are dying for more offense from the backcourt.Might have to take back players like Knox or Frankie Smokes who just haven't cut it on Broadway and they want to get out from under those deals. OKC might be willing to take him on for Horford. In either case we would need to provide some kind of sweetener in the form of someone like maybe Nesmith or a future pick or something, maybe both. In either case you do it, no questions asked. After that, the options start to dry up quickly.
IMHO, Kemba's minutes need to drop to about 25-ish a game now with Romeo back. Even moreso as FournHub eventually returns. The more you play Kemba, the more our defense is compromised. And if he's not hitting his jumpshot, his offensive value plummets. When Brad has options like Fournier, Smart,Romeo, and Pritchard to go, there's no reason not to use them. Doesn't mean Kemba doesn't play. He just plays less. Only 4 players I think should get at least 30mpg when healthy on this team: The Jay's, Fournier, and Rob.
