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.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
