This is going to sound stupid. But, it is what it is. Would you trade Kemba & our first round pick next year for Michael Porter Jr. (first pick in the Draft) after the season?

(1) dont even know if Porter will be good; i.e. Harry Giles

(2) if would take more than Kemba and our low 1st round; possibly not lottery

 

whoever owns the no1 pick next year probably would not even trade it straight up for Porzingis alone.

 Yeah, it was wishful thinking on my part.  Because I honestly think MPJ will be a beast, and, no way this team gets above a 4-5 seed, even in the shitty East.

Why? Hes still very young. And finally in his prime. Playing like one of the top PG in the league today. I would not trade him. 

Because this team has zero reall assets Kemba is it (& Malik Monk)as of today. I agree with that Kemba is one of the top scoring PGs today and in his prime. However he will probably want a max deal that would take him to mid 30's? 

Kemba's limitations as a playmaker and on defense still male him an odd piece to build around. It is why you need a Batum type player along side of him.

However the team around Kemba is getting old (Marvin, Batum, Howard) and a roster overhaul with Kemba at a Max contract while he is on the backside of his careet may not be good long term. 

If Malik Monk shows what a lot of us are excited about then possibly..he can be the new building block. 

I hate it..Kemba has developed his game to be an exciting player..but the front office took too long and made too many roster mistakes along the way. 

This trade Kemba discussion is not really about Kemba but about the roster's age, third max contracts and where this team wants to go.

It just may have to be a tough decision on Kemba 2 years from now if he only will accept the 5 year max or wants to join a contender.

Yeah, I was looking forward to the future.  Man, I would LOVE to have MPJ in the Draft.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
