Anyone bring up trading for LeBron? Cuz its just as likely as Chris Paul leaving the Suns for the Celtics via S&T for Kemba.


Unless Robert Sarver sells the Suns in the offseason its possible. Hes notoriously cheap.

Horford for Kemba is a safe move.

But it might cost the Celts a 1st round pick.

KP on the other hand is cheaper than Kemba in 2022 and 2023 because KP is getting less money than Kemba in 2022 and 2023.

In fact, Celts save a total of 8.2m in 2022 and 2023 if they swap Kemba for KP.

The downside is KP still has 36m for 2024.



Trading kemba for Horford AND giving a pick is a dumb move.


That's why I prefer Kemba for Porzingis.

So he’s too cheap to pay Chris Paul, but would take Kemba?

KP really looks rather cooked, particularly defensively. tbh he looks like a rich-man's luke kornet. while i get we're getting rid of kemba's salary, i'm not sure taking on 3/100 in salary is really a great direction to go for another guy who injury-hampered.

Kemba looks rather cooked too, and he looks like a rich man's Jeff Teague. So pick your poison: a 6-0 vial of poison or a 7-2 vial of poison.

This is a bizarre hypothetical. Why would anyone prefer to drink an entire foot and 2 inches more of poison?

Paul can make more than Kemba next year. Even if he opts in it saves Sarver 10 million and probably nets back quite a few draft picks. Its not likely but certainly possible. I personally think a CP3 led Celtics team goes further than the Suns will.

Booker - Ayton - Bridges is a better young core than Tatum - Brown - Smart, even if Tatum is the best player of the 6.

*ahem*

Well, I guess you already forgot. But as soon as the Lakers were eliminated, I was the doofus who brought up Kemba for LeBron.

Put some respect on my name 8-)

Paul reportedly wants to opt out for a 3/100 deal. Kemba has 2/70 left. There is ZERO chance we get a S&T’d CP3 for Kemba lol

They are perfectly balanced. Primary, elite scorer in Booker, perfect 3&D guy in Bridges and someone who provides inside out options with Ayton. Paul rounds it out by adding elite playmaking.

Meanwhile we have Tatum doing the role of Booker, Brown is rather meh, low effort defender and his skills severly overlap with Tatum's. Smart is jack of all trades, master at none.

"The Thunder will eventually make a push toward competing, but that won’t happen until another year or two down the road. For now though, they have a high-priced former Celtic on the roster in Al Horford who would love to return to Boston, according to league sources."

So Kemba's cousin says yeah his feelings were hurt when Ainge tried to trade him but he's over it and loyal to his team and not asking for a trade.

One poison last 2 years, the other lasts 3 years. Easy decision.

clearly from Horford's perspective Boston is the one pace where need+fit+history makes Boston the est place to be. I wonder if OKC, out of repsect for horford agreeing to shut himself down will try to accominate Horford.

PS. as a backup to RW and > TT I would love Horford.

Again, we aren’t gonna trade for kp. Just don’t see it happening but the guy scored over 23 points 14 times last year, had 8 games of at least 23 points and 10+ rebounds, 11 games of at least 12 rebounds. 10 games of at least 25 points. He shot 37% from 3 on 6 attempts.

His lateral movement has faded, he does not protect the rim at like he used to but the reason he’s such an anchor for the mavs is they NEED him to be the bonafide 2nd star and carry the team next to Luka. He wouldn’t need to do that here.

While I don’t wanna pay him 30 million dollars a year, especially a year longer than kemba- he’s still a pretty good player and has the potential to come here or elsewhere and regain some resemblance of the player he once was and if he did stay healthy and produced could be flipped or you potentially get an all star caliber guy for pennies on the dollar trade wise.

The injuries are the big concern. He still can be a productive player.

Just as/more likely Kemba is healthy and bounces back and is easier to trade since he'll have 1 year less. By the deadline next year he's basically an expiring that will be easy to move. While acknowledging your point, all I see is downside with KP.

Very interested in a Kemba for Horford deal. Horford fills a need, wants to be in Boston and most importantly has a 2 year deal at $40 million guaranteed and about $55 million total. Just makes too much sense.

Would try to do a future 1st instead of the #16 pick this year.

Edit:

Kemba, G Williams, future lottery protected 1st for Horford, future 2nd round pick

I get hesitant about including any additional asset, but a KP to OKC, Horf to us, Kemba & OKC pick to DAL is my dream right now.

If the price needs another asset, I'm out. If we can't use his salary/picks for a much better player than Al, I might just roll with Kemba til the deadline and see where we're at.
