Kemba is gonna get paid. I'd say 10 million +. Better just accept it, look at Bledsoe's deal.

He's gonna get paid here. Idk why so many people hate on him. He's a very good player & not that far behind guys like Wall & Irving.

Kemba is the heart & soul of this team. He's the unquestioned leader. He is the biggest, & possibly only, reason we landed Big Al AND Lance. Clifford, Jordan, & Cho all love Kemba & view him as a cornerstone of the franchise.

I guess some people just like to be pessimistic.

I don't disagree with you. I don't think he is that far behind Irving and Wall, but I think that's more a product of them being vastly overrated. He will get paid here definitely, I honestly think he'll be extended before the deadline.

Irving- 6.1 APG, 2.28 A/TO ratio, 35.2 minutes, 8.3 assists per 48 minutes

Waker- 6.1 APG, 2.64 A/TO ratio, 35.8 minutes, 8.2 assists per 48 minutes

 

Sorry friend, the numbers don't back you up on that.

Yeah that's why Chip Kelly's offense and his team as a whole (which for the majority is based on stats) is cra.... Oh wait.

Statistical based coaching and analysis will be HUGE in the next 10 years based on the current flow that it's already on.

Are you suggesting Kyrie is not on a higher level than Kemba?

I don't understand why the fact that Kemba vs. Kyrie is laughed at so much. Kyrie Irving is the most overrated player in the NBA, and it isn't close. By what measure is Kyrie "on a higher level"? He shot a slightly higher percentage and was slightly more efficient of a scorer. That's all he's got on Kemba. Add in the defensive edge for Kemba and they're pretty much on the same level.

So if stats are unimportant what is the ultimate test for how good someone is?

Media-Hype

That's it. It's true for all sports, look at baseball. Stephen Strasburg (Age 26) is hyped to no end by the media. He gets as much attention and praise as any player in the game, they act like he's a superstar. Reality? He's injury-prone and a wildly inconsistent pitcher. Madison Bumgarner (Age 25) gets next to no praise whatsoever by the media (excluding this postseason). He's been a very good major league pitcher since he was 19, and an elite top 10 pitcher the past 2 seasons. He's a 2x All-Star, NLCS MVP, & 2x WS champion, currently playing for his 3rd, & has put up all-time historic postseason numbers.

It's all about media perception. Oh, & doing fancy moves in commercials & ASGs. Kyrie has been heralded & praised as a superstar PG since he was 16 years old. I don't get it. Is he good? Absolutely. But he's an injury-prone player, has a poor attitude, is one of the worst defenders in the entire league, & has always put up inflated stats on terrible teams. He's vastly overrated & nowhere near being a superstar.

Kyrie went to Duke & now plays with LeBron. Kyrie has really cool commercials & won a useless ASG award. Kyrie is slurped by ESPN & heralded as a superstar.

Kemba plays in Charlotte. ESPN doesn't care, therefore fans don't either.

Why is he the most overrated player? The Kyrie hate is unreal
