Just having the ability to keep Walker or Donovan in the game at all times would be so huge. Few teams really have the ability to check both Mitchell and Walker while accounting for Rudy.
 
Does someone with a knowledge of our salary situation know what we'd have to ship out? They said if he leaves Charlotte he drops down to $130 million from the $210 supermax. It would shock me if he did that, but assuming he did, and wanted to come here, how could we make that work while making sure to keep Mitchell, Rudy, Joe, and, I'd hope, Favors?

Like don't get me wrong, I would love Kemba, not that it's actually gonna happen, but if you had the chance you absolutely do it. I do wonder if a player like Kemba who is so ball dominant would negatively impact Donovan at all. I think you almost need a tier down from a star level. Like a Tobias or Brogdan would fit better IMO than a Kemba. Donovan is Batman, and he needs a Robin. I feel like Kemba is more of another Batman. Whoever you sign if given the chance I feel like needs to be someone who falls in line behind Donovan. You still want Donovan to be the cornerstone of the offense, he just needs a little help. I guess it's all in the role another guy is willing to take. I just feel Kemba is very ball dominant and could negatively impact a guy like Donovan. In no way is this saying I wouldn't love to sign Kemba because I would.

Obviously on offense you could make it work. Donovan probably turns into a 40% three point shooter getting to shoot set shots most of the time. On defense is where you get hurt, and ultimately why the Jazz wouldn't do it.

Are we sure Charlotte is going with the $210 million supermax? If you are not doing the supermax, the fifth year is a thing, but it isn't s tremendous, lifechanging benefit. Ask Haywood.

I like Kemba, I want him here, but I'm not sure I would supermax him if I were Charlotte.

Someone like Kemba allows us to keep Favors (somehow, God willing.) The defensive drop from Ricky to Kemba isn't going to be as severe as the drop between Favors and someone like Mirotic.

This.
Kemba = instant spacing even with the Wasatch Front holding it down in the paint.

Warriors say hello.
 
I like Ricky but I would love to see Kemba here. No doubt we would have to max him to get him here
 
Kemba no thnx not for max money. Too ball dominant and too small and not great defense. Conley is a better fit if we're going down that path
