If the Mavs trade for Kemba without getting VALUABLE assets as well, then I will officially stop anything that even looks like defending Cuban.
Get all the bad knee players!

"A league source says a Kemba Walker trade is imminent, though it is unclear whether the trade will occur before or after the beginning of the 2021-22 NBA season."
This is the article referred in the story but it was dated June 23rd?? I am confused.

Amico's Hoops Wire story cited a 3 day old source from the New York Daily News. The New York Daily News said imminent but then said before or after the start of next season. Which means whenever and does not sound very imminent to me.
So Kawai has had injuries and issues with the training staff at 2 teams now. Plus he was a diva at the Spurs and now appears to be acting the same at the Clippers.
He is a top 5 player when fit but comes with some baggage.
Not sure you want him teaching his habits to Luka.

I'll believe it when I see it. But yes, that would be a complete game-changer in free agency. And with the way Dallas has consistently gone out of its way to be over-conservative with KP's rehab, I would think they could make an excellent pitch to Kawhi that speaks to his biggest concern while still offering a tremendous opportunity to win.
I would love this Kawhi rumor if he hadn’t turned down a Nike/Jordan contract for New Balance a couple years ago.

Kawhi+Luka=instant ring.
As long as Kawhi is 1) healthy and 2) contented ("gruntled," heh heh), then yeah.
