Pierce, Kemba, Utah

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
 
Surely a guard shakes free from Brooklyn soon.

DiAngelo
Lavert
Dinwiddie

Doubt they can keep them all happy.
 
I like him. My dream would be have him as our 3rd PG behind Conley and Rubio as the starter.
We would literally have zero drop off when our 2nd and 3rd string players came in.

You're insane! If we got Kemba he STARTS and goes 48 min a night. Done.

I figured the 3rd string part would ensure that people saw the joke, but clearly I was wrong.

Yes, it would be awesome to get Kemba. Yes we would not have Rubio or Conley, and that would still be awesome.
I would love to have Kemba on this team... assuming we keep DM, Gobert, Ingles, Favs... and if we can I'd want to still have Royce, Korver, Raul, Jae, Ekpe, Thabo, and Niang. The rest I'm sure we can mix and match.
I still like Rubio, but getting Kemba would cost someone in one way or another. We'd lose people.
 
Oh my bad!

Agreed. We'd have to lose people. But, I think I'd lose Favors to gain Kemba. It would be tough, but Kemba makes us elite.

I like Ricky but I would love to see Kemba here. No doubt we would have to max him to get him here

it's good that you love RR, cause Kemba never signs in utah. It's amusing reading all the naivety in this thread. People don't learn here.
 
Kemba at $28 million per year < Brodgon at $17 million per year
Kemba at $28 million per year ?=? Brodgon at $24 million per year
Kemba at $44 million per year < S&Trade value for the Hornets
Kemba at $28 million per year for 5 years in his prime > Conley at $33 million per year for one year above 30+ age

I think that Kemba and Donovan would be like Lillard and McCollum are for the Blazers. Unstoppable. But is our defense good enough with Kemba? I am not sure. If he wasn't relied on to score as much would he divert more energy to the defense? Probably. But we like to sign highly efficient, two way players. Brogdon is a highly efficient two way player who would come for less and is entering his prime as well. Kemba would be fun but expensive. Brogdon would be more of a budgetary player and probably a better fit.

Haha yeah, I'm amazed how people don't get sarcasm.

I think we would be awesome with both players. I think our defense would be fine with kemba.

Gun to my head with salaries taken into consideration (I'm putting brogdan at no more than 20 million) I take brogdon. But I do think kemba makes us slightly better than brogdan just that brogdan would be cheaper puts him slightly over kemba.

Really though, get whichever you can for whatever they cost. Beggars can't be choosers and the jazz are beggars in the free agency sweepstakes.

Last time I checked there was essentially no way to sign a max player and also keep Favors. Sadly.

It seems a lot of cap rules have changed in the past ten years to the point that I’m pretty out of date. Previously, you couldn’t use the MLE if you were under the cap. Is that still in place? Meaning, if we cap out, are the rules any different and can we access any exceptions to sign Favors without bird rights?

I believe the rule is and has been that if you are more than a MLE under the cap at some point, you lose the MLE.
