Kemba Walker

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Looking at advanced metrics for Rubio and subbing out Ricky for Kemba would make us really really good.

And do the same for Williams vs our starting PF's

Lamb for Hood.

I'd think about Marvin and Kemba for Favors, Burks, and a highly protected first. Marvin adds a competent stretch 4 (albeit on an iffy contract) and I think Kemba and Mitchell can play together. Rubio moves to backup point guard until we unload him. Hornets get to start unloading contracts (Favors contract is especially nice) and get a serviceable wing and a protected first out of the deal.

Why don't we just call ourselves the Utah Hornets.

I think you're pretty severely undervaluing Kamba.

I added a stupid wrinkle to the Pelton trade idea.

Wizards give Jazz their first round pick to get off the last year of Gortat's deal and get an upgrade in Favors. They also take Burks to improve their bench.

Jazz take Gortat and the Wizards take Jason Smith and Chris McCullough

Agree that this would be an all-in kind of move, and I'm not going all-in on Kemba Walker. Also, RE: Marvin Williams, he's already getting up there in age. Leaves the question of the 4 pretty open moving forward. Mirotic does too, but mostly because he'd expire after next season.

I think the Wet Bandit fit is pretty damn good though.

I think this would be up to Donovan. If he wants to be a PG then naw

I watched a highlight video of just Kemba crossovers and I was induced to an acid flashback of watching Deron Williams break ankles.

no thnx don't need an inefficient high possession user to hamper Donovan

We will be most successful with the ball in Donovan’s hands. We can get scorers but they can’t be ball dominant.

People not wanting to deal a 20-30 pick or hamper the ability to trade a future pick by having protections on it for Niko, but willing to jettison draft pick, Hood, and a **** ton of cap space to get a ball dominant PG.

You can live with two ball-dominant players. Even with three sometimes. We need more ball-handlers, that's for sure.

And it's not like Kemba is terrible off the ball. He improved his spot-up 3s over the last few years iirc.
