Saw this coming a mile away.

Kemba got that deal and stunk it up in Boston. Moving him was the right thing to do. They need much better at PG. He hasn't shown up for that team. At all. Dude looked uninspired and just straight up out of it 1/2 of the time he was out there. They have a mad strong core of young talent that are going to carry that team nicely over the next few years, they need a PG that's going to match that drive. Kemba wasn't a good fit for them.

So this is BS for move as gm? Straight bs indeed :heh:
:gucci: Getting rid of an albatross contract and freeing up cap space to improve the roster (something they didn't have before), getting a decent young player AND a good veteran leader while only losing one of the worst starting PG's in the league and a mid first rounder is BS?

This was a ruthless, but necessary move by Brad. He was a bytch as a coach, so hopefully this is a sign of things to come for his front office tenure

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Kemba getting the blame now, saw it coming a mile away

he’s been horrible in the playoffs the last two years, he flat out couldn’t score vs good defenses, and isn’t great defensively

ended up missing playoff games this season

only played 43 regular season games

he was a big part of the problem for their struggles this year... how can you have continuity when you have a pg that at best plays every other game?

you’re not this stupid, are you?

Guys, Kemba was really bad this year. That's pretty much what you can get at this point from him. I have a feeling this bad Kemba's contract and letting Hayward go for nothing was the final nail in Danny Ainge's GM coffin :dead:

He'll probably put up some nice stats in OKC cause they are not contending for the playoffs. Breh got the contract of his career and he a happier than a muthafukka, injury or no injury :mjlol: smiling every game and missing shots.

I think its a good move only cuz it gets rid of Kemba's contract and Al's is not guaranteed past next year...

OKC doesn't deserve those lottery picks.

They had 4 HOF players (possibly 5 if you include PG) on their team in the last 10 years and wasted it. Amounted to nothing..


These small market teams are ruining the NBA. Diluting the game.
It's called karma, they stole the team from Seattle that had some weakass ownership at that point. Then they let Harden go knowing they'll still be a deep playoff run team filling up the seats. And then you know what happened. Cheap ownership teams are the worst. Their incompetence gets awarded with draft picks.
