What if the Mavs acted as a salary dump for Kemba and don't give up anything substantial in return?
Something like JRich+WCS+Burke for Kemba+2023 1st round pick.
We always pine for the Mavs to leverage their capspace that they aren't going to use properly to pickup bloated contracts for assets. Is this not a prime example of this?
I know Kemba's knees are shot but the Mavs are essentially giving up air for a 2023 first and an opportunity to resurrect a fallen angel. All the positives about Kemba being next to Luka haven't disappeared and the Celtics were VERY close to making the finals in the bubble not too long ago with Kemba playing significant minutes.
EDIT: The reason why I say this is because there's a general theme among some that KP is viewed much like Kemba or other "untradeable" contracts. If KP is barely going to net a return of anything good, then shouldn't Kemba Walker (a player almost all will say is much worse than KP right now) net an even lower return? And in that case, shouldn't the Mavs try and push the Celtics to tack on some draft compensation in return for taking on a terrible contract?
I don't know. Just trying to think outside the box.
