I'd feel confident that you'd rather have Kennard than Conley next season....unless it's some situation where you want more outgoing expiring salary in a trade.
I think we need to be in the business of buying guys when they are low, and I agree that Kennard is buy low and we could probably get something extra too. If he's the player he's been, I think the trade is still fine....but I'm still somewhat intrigued by him as a ball handler/more aggressive scorer. I think he has the skill, but I know LAC has tried to make him more aggressive but he never really complied.
