While I generally prefer the other ideas (trading Porzingis, getting young, capspace/collusion/assets)...
IF the MBT do not trade Porzingis....
THEN absolutely they should double down and acquire Kemba. Do not half-ass a "plan" again.
Cause either Porzingis will return to form and then you add a player in Kemba that will most likely will outcontribute Richardson/Kleber/Burke (duh) or Porzingis remains broken (physically/mentally), then you are ****** anyway and having Kemba makes no difference either.
The thing ab KP is that I think the hate has gone a little bit too far. Part of it was that the Clippers small ball lineup was not a good matchup for him. He is not in this situation every game. Rick/KP can come together to try to figure out how to use him better with a full offseason. The big change I think is getting a real defensive center next to KP. I am not crazy ab a Kemba move bc I think it makes it harder to add a center. If Mavs could find a center but still do the Kemba thing then it's not terrible I guess.
Like if you get Ibaka for example which means you probably need to move Powell somewhere.
Something like Luka, Kemba, DFS, KP, Ibaka, THJ, Brunson isn't the worse situation. I believe KP will likely move around better next year but I don't think he's going to be amazing defensively either so I'd still like to pair him with a defensive center.
