At least the worst version of Kemba wasn´t a liability (just a highly overpaid average starting PG). KP on the other hand can be borderline unplayable.
Kemba is played off the floor sometimes because he is such a defensive liability. When Mavs play him they attack him relentlessly. Now he's a good player but his age/contract/injury history/size I think puts him in a position where there just isn't a market for him. You can look at even Celtics blogs and I haven't seen much hope that they can move him this year. Once he is an expiring contract then he will be easier to move. The best they could get for Kemba would be some other bad contract so what's the point.
I believe there is an actual market for KP, despite his flaws. Teams will have interest and put together packages to try to land him.
