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?

I think MPJ will be LeBronish, maybe even better.  

 

Just a discussion as to what you guys think.  

[Carl Spackler]

Nope.

(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.

However, trading Kemba should be seriously explored after this next season as opposed to giving him a max contract.

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.
