You know that Kemba was dancing in the Apollo before coming to UConn, right? He is made for an entertainment city like LA, and he absolutely could be in Hollywood. I’m not saying Kemba would be dancing in his late 30s, but if he balls out in LA and wins a championship with Bron and AD, the endorsement and professional possibilities outside and after basketball are endless, especially with Magic and now LeBron there.

Kemba puts all his proverbial eggs of the future in the basket of Charlotte’s payroll if he stays there.

My angle is: What does Kemba do after basketball if he mires in mediocrity for 5 more years in Charlotte and never gets past the second round of the playoffs, versus if he goes to LA and wins a championship with the Lakers in his prime? I would agree with you that most players in his situation should stay and just bank on basketball. But Kemba has so much more than basketball talent.

Kemba indicated last week that he was willing to not take the super max to allow Charlotte to spend and build around him anyway, so you know he is not just thinking money. Well, that team is now made for him in LA...
