Kemba was playing scared before his benching, and now he's finally not looking to pass the ball to Julius on every possession.

I'd feel better about this if I knew we were just building trade value for some of these guys

But this is the core they want going forward, and they're more likely to see this as just being 1 piece away

And they think that piece is like, Myles Turner or something.

How in the hell do you completely remove Kemba from the squad like that? I mean you don't even say that you'll give him situational minutes. Just straight up banned him. Not a good look and it will make other players from around the league have another reason not to want to come here.

Where were the situational minutes going to come from if he can't play with Rose and Quickley on the second unit?

He saw how the second unit acted like Julius wasn't on the court when they played with him. :lol:

It’s funny the whole league said Kemba is done including our own fanbase but now that he strung together a few good games Thibs should have just known he’s still a great player

I think most ppl said he was washed bc of his defense. Even before he wss benched he showed he can still score

Would Randle throw up 15 shots in the second half and take the ball out of Kemba’s hands? Find out on the next episode of Randle want the ball Z.

yes but people wanted to win then. now people want to lose, so that's why we'll win.

it's like this...you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes....you'll still get anally raped. thank you.

Thibs is always at risk of being a Fool’s Gold Coach who latches on to whatever player got him his most recent wins. He has no long-term vision really

He will because he's jealous when his teammates go off.

You can't build around two PGs as injury prone as Walker and Rose. They have to know that Kemba's knees will eventually become an issue. Hopefully we are building his trade value - although I don't know what the market might be for him.
