The fact that vets keep coming here to die concerns me about Kemba. But all we need him to do is come off the bench and hit open 3s and pass without turning it over.

The people that have watched Kemba are wary enough that I wouldn’t give up more than Sato. No 2nd.

The guy playing 35 mins a night, shooting 30% from the field and defending worse than a broken traffic cone isn’t considered a major contributor to losing in your opinion?

Honestly, 1 more league average guard and we’d have a winning record this year. That’s on Griff and that’s unfortunately on NAW as well.

Is he really worse than Kira and Sato? Because those are the minutes that we're talking about giving to Kemba.

Knicks had the worst defensive rating when Kemba was on the floor (116.3 per 100 pos)
Knicks had the best defensive rating of the nba when Kemba wasn't on the floor.

We're already defensively bad enough.

We don't need an other bad defender yet

Moreover, the knicks are offensively better when Kemba isn't on the floor (9th best offense of the nba) than when he's on the floor (27th).
Kemba isn't a good playmaker, bad defender,is injury prone and has no physical advantage over most other PG

The question isn't whether he is better than Kira and Sato but whether he can upgrade the Pels and i doubt he can honestly.

This Bleacher Report article is saying the Knicks might be interested in John Wall. I don't see how you do a trade like that and feel your better if your the Knicks though. They have to send out too many pieces for salary like Fournier.

What if all you had to do was give up Satoransky and a 2nd? I can't imagine anyone else sending better value than that.

The exact trade I was thinking of. Would be an upgrade off the bench, if for nothing else, a stabilizing guard.

Wasn't basically this entire board thinking naw would be the most improved player in the entire nba?

Man I was a real NAW believer. Even when he struggled I thought he needs time. When he was removed from the starting line up I was encouraged that he didn’t pout. But I think I lost my believe :( that dude keeps throwing step back bricks and does not play within his strengths. At this point I believe 100 times more in Kira than in him. Man we could have just drafted Garland

You can be a NAW believer.
The Pels fans just need to avoid putting excessive expectations on the players (NAW MIP and Trey Murphy ROY were very very unlikely)

People are saying here BI can still progress when he's already 6 years old in the league. So I don't see why NAW can't progress when he's only 2 years old in the league ...

That said, it's hard to progress in a losing team, except if you really have a star potential and you manage to realize that potential.

Players like Kawhi, Butler, Wiggins this season etc have progressed in winning and well structured teams.

I could see Morey making a call to NY.

Ben Simmons for Kemba, Alec Burks, Kevin Knox, and Immanuel Quickley

It fits salary wise at least

When you hear microfracture or stem cell knee injections, you stay away.

Eg stodomire, Ron Harper, penny hardaway, Chris Webber……

That’s a career altering injury. Don’t need a bum knee to go along with a player we currently have with a bum foot

i feel ya. It's just not clicking for him.

One thing i notice after every game looking at the box score is how many shot attempts he takes compared to points.
NAW 14FGA/13.9ppg
That's the definition of a chucker.


NAW is top 50 in the league in average FGA per game.
No one else has a ppg lower than FGA in the top 50, and the few that are close to it in the top 100 are a few rookies or 2nd year guys.
He's the most inefficient volume shooter in the nba right now, hands down.
Guys like Lou WIlliams, Jamal Crawford, Jordan Clarkson, Will Barton, same draft class Tyler Herro, none of them ever did that in their career.

I would think part of this is that he never gets to the line either. Oof.

The biggest issue is that half his shots are from 3, however he doesn't even make 30% of them. Woof.

And its not like they're bad shots, they are wide fricking open. Herro on the other hand 40% are from 3, yet he's making 39% of them.

But Antonio Daniels said he sees how hard NAW has worked, and NAW can average 20ppg and is going to be really good!!!

What about NAW makes you think he can't average 20 ppg?

Sure, he would need 22 APG to do it, but he can do it
