don’t get me wrong Kemba was amazing for the franchise. the guy gave his knees for us 😔 we just couldn’t(didn’t) build around him. i hope the front office doesn’t do the same for LaMelo but… with Old Man Mitch K as GM 🤦🏻♂️
agreed. feel like he's always hurt or something going on with him. he'll never be an elite player. I couldn't believe it when I heard the eligibility amount. he's sad and washed up.
Ikr, Dude went to Boston and got exposed quickly. They shipped him out, OKC dumped him NY didn’t see enough to keep him. Kemba was a product of being on a bad team in Charlotte.
@@guidopared1632 whoever jus agent was failed him. Definitely woulda took that $160 and then after that it could’ve been whatever…. Lmao look at Jordan Poole, he took his money (smart) and now he sucks.. but guess what, they can bench Poole rn and he still breakin they bank
@@bossattack7105 I agree. I think his ego got the best of him. His last year in Charlotte he was taking well over 20 shots per game to get those 25 points. There’s no way he was going to get near 20 shots per game with Tatum, Brown, Smart etc… plus he was a pedestrian shooter at 41% over 8 years. I think I read somewhere that they were hoping he would take 175 after negotiations. He heard the initial offer of 160 and immediately announced he was heading to Boston. I think he had a bad agent too.
@@guidopared1632 yeah his agent failed him tremendously sheesh. I agree with you tho bro. He should’ve signed and then requested a trade and pulled a Harden
Hornets knew he wasn’t worth a max deal. That’s why he said he was willing to take less. He went to Boston and reality set in. Couldn’t use that build around him crutch anymore. He had a great players around him and he just stunk up the court. Traded, traded, traded… out!
lol it was the smartest move Jordan has ever done for the franchise. They messed up by not trading him before the deadline. Kemba was already on track for all nba but the decided not to trade him and let him walk for nothing. Charlotte saved a ton of cap space and then kemba aged like milk in the summer. They brought him back as a developmental coach, so all is well now.
@@Buggaibale As soon as bro went to a team with pieces, he became garbage. The only reason he was ever good was because he was surrounded by trash. Probably the only time MJ made a good business decision besides his Nike deal.
He’s not that guy. Good but not great. Understand why MJ didn’t want to overpay an undersized score first point guard who’s a liability on defense. Look at how his career went downhill after he left Charlotte.
The original franchise left Charlotte for a reason, NC basketball fans are too engrossed in their respective college basketball tribalisms to care about NBA basketball. Therefore, nobody shows up to the games unless a top tier team is in town and the building gets packed to the rafters with the other team’s fans, therefore, the team makes no money, therefore, they can’t afford to pay anybody worth a damn to stay long term. That being said, let’s start the countdown to when they finally pack up and move to Seattle to become the new Sonics.

They offered him ONLY 160 MILLION over 5 years. What a lowball offer
He kinda got that in 4 years from the Celtics offee
Only just to join the Celtics on a $140mill offer 💀
He wanted to win a ring I guess
32m per year is a lowball? Sure Kemba is a great player but he's bad on D, had knee issues and would probably be declining during his contract.
Mj 😂😂disrespected him

Thqt franchise will leave before in 5 years kax
@@corpr8dystopia778he’s 22 relax as soon as a player has any kind of setback y’all act like all is lost I hope you don’t treat life that way
He went hard wit knicks too
Crazy part is, if you look back at his salary as a Hornet, he was grossly underpaid. His agent should be fired
Nah, Kemba was pretty meh when he signed that contract. He outplayed it for sure, but Kemba wasn’t going to get max money at that point in his career.
And now he's not playing in the NBA
Nah it was everyone that got drafted around that time. They missed out on the new CBA
Shoulda took that $160M. He’d be laughing at the bank right now

What are you talking about? Who would pay him over 50 mil a year? No one
That's good money....30 million a year
Best decision the Hornets made. But I love Kemba but he wasn’t worth the super max.
Yeah he was if y’all got him the right pieces hw definitely was
I definitely was
@@Buggaibaleno he wasn’t especially with he injuries
@@Big_CP3no he wasn’t u seen after that he was on the decline
@@Buggaibale As soon as bro went to a team with pieces, he became garbage. The only reason he was ever good was because he was surrounded by trash. Probably the only time MJ made a good business decision besides his Nike deal.
I woulda took that over 5 😅
He should've taken it.
Charlotte wouldn’t give him it
They offered him 160m just for him to settle for 140m on the Celtics@@hyabberhane
Just like Drose
@@aerohoopsprod.4254 Dude really overplayed his hand. As soon as teams saw him up close, he kept getting traded.
Sound like good money to Me..
He’s The Gilbert arenas of the 2010s era but less Crazy
Only 160 million…chump change
Dude not even worth 100 million
He signed for less in Boston. He should have just resigned with the Hornets. Smh
Now he overseas
It wasnt disrespectful cuz he wasnt worth it, he was always so inefficient. I liked him but he was just an allstar and that franchise money
He should of took that over 4-5 years tho
Only offered him 160 million wow, so low!! Come on man are you fucking serious? Greed just simply greed.
I would be good with that 160 bruh
He was too small to be the best player on a bad team.
He’s not that guy. Good but not great. Understand why MJ didn’t want to overpay an undersized score first point guard who’s a liability on defense. Look at how his career went downhill after he left Charlotte.
He was a good player but not that good for a super max
Hornet's won though, because he wasn't the same after this,them injuries started to set in by then
lamelo is wayy better than him tbh.
