Kemba Watch

[RayRay19]

Looks as though the hornets are in rebuild mode and could be looking to trade Kemba who still has 1 year on his contract. I hope he gets moved to a contender. Only realistic options I see are:

Cavs: No LeBron would make them non contenders
Clippers: in need of playmakers have 12/13 pick
Celtics: Could trade for Kemba and trade away Kyrie to potentially get LeBron. Kyrie would leave if Celtics pursued LeBron with him on roster.
Sun's: Kemba/Booker/Ayton could be interesting core
76ers: Young team with potential

Probably missed a few other suitors.

Let's see... Just hope he lands where he has a future.

I would buy one.

Wait, what?

 

[LIuconn]

As a borderline All-Star he deserves a winner as he nears the back 9 of his career

a lottery team.

Perhaps, but Walker's repeatedly pushed to stay in Charlotte and particularly after last season. Enter Mitch Kupchak as GM. Full-on rebuilding, freeing up salary cap with Dwight Howard's trade after a one year pit stop in Charlotte, some hybrid?

Denver.

He's gotta be one of the most probable guys to get moved in tonight's draft. I think the Cavs are probably the most likely team, but why would Charlotte want Love (CLE's only asset of any value)? Maybe he goes to San Antonio in some kind of three way trade involving Leonard? That's another option and would be preferable to the Cavs, Suns or Clippers.

If there is anyplace i want Kemba Walker to go to... its the Knicks. That would pierce the UConn ‘flag the moon’ in terms of NY NBA market, NYC recruiting, “UConn 6th Burrough”, brand recognition, etc

Plus... I wanna watch him play

Edit: but hey, lots of eyes on him if he plays with LeBron. We shall see!!

Any chance he ends up in Portland with Shabazz? Maybe send Lamb over there too while we're at it.

 

[Poe]

To the Pistons to play with Andre and Blake.

From what I'm reading from the Blazer fans it doesn't look like Portland will re-sign Shabazz. Too expensive for a back-up PG. He had a great first half of last season and tailed off toward the end. It will be interesting to see where he ends up, really pulling for my favorite Husky.

Bucks. Bledsoe for Kemba wouldn't be a huge dropoff for the Hornets, and Bledsoe is a stat generator that could entertain fans for a season. Bledsoe is also not a winner, and the Bucks need a winner. The Bucks also have just enough cap space if they get a cap reprieve on Teletovic's retirement that they can pick up one of the Hornets' bad contracts.
