Hornets Looking At Bringing Back Kemba Walker or Isaiah Thomas


Recommended Posts

I’m still not sure why Kemba gets a bunch of hate from Knicks fans… 1) Their team is ass, 2) Did they really think they were going to get a 20/8/5 player at this point in Kenna’s career?

I’d be happy if Kemba could give us the same numbers that he gave New York last year.

I guess you can kick the tires for vet minimum. But at this stage in his career what is the purpose? Any emotional reunion will be short lived and I'd rather just see younger players get minutes than try to shoehorn in guys like Thomas or Walker.

We don’t have a third point guard and the Hornets aren’t the type of team that trots out a young point guard as their 3PG.

The only time I can remember the Hornets/Bobcats using a rookie or second year player as their 3PG would be when they had Sherron Collins and Cory Higgins.

Teams are paying Kemba to leave. I love him too but we gotta face facts. And honestly if we do this we need to trade Bouknight and get value for him now bc what a waste of a pick to have zero confidence in the kid.

Why are we trading Bouk?  That makes no sense at all.  If we look at this young team Bouk fits well.  I think he is probably a 20 pt per night guy…maybe more.  Jumping ship on our young guys is dumb.  Kemba is a nice backup scorer on a good night and that is fine with me

    • Just a winner? He went 6-9 last year. Just because a guy got carried to the SB by elite surrounding talent doesn't mean much. How did Nick Files pan out after catching lightning on a bottle?
    • Hurts is an elite threat with his legs though. He's gonna stress an opposing DC a lot more than Brock Purdy.
    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.
