I read something that says they'd be the frontrunner if Kemba leaves Charlotte

I would love to have Kemba here but I don't see it after Cubans AAU comments but a line up of him, Luka, and KP would be fire.

Really? That's kinda random :lol:

How is Kemba off ball? I am leaning towards other positions as the priority but if they strike out then obviously they gotta take what they can get

It is but we could do a lot worse than adding Kemba. We'd be food on defense tho lol.
 
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar raises $2.8 million for his Skyhook Foundation by selling rings, other memorabilia

Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar put hundreds of pieces of memorabilia -- including four of his NBA championship rings -- up for auction last week. The auction was handled by Goldin Auctions, and when the auction concluded, he had raised $2.8 million for his Skyhook Foundation, which raises money for students to learn science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Apparently he's really good at catch and shoot 3s (41%) and off of screen 3s (38%).

Definitely the type of guy the Lakers need as well.
 
The Pacers are one the last teams you wanna be playing if your offense is struggling.
They could legitimately player spoiler to one of those other 4 east teams if they could score. Still gonna be a tough out.

Boston keeps tricking off these games and they won’t have homecourt in any round :lol
 
Just read earlier that he's elite on catch and shoot 3s

It’s unfortunate that Walker hasn’t been surrounded by more high-level shot creators so that he could flaunt his skills off the ball more often. Over the past four seasons, Walker has shot an excellent 41.4 percent on spot-up 3s, per NBA.com/Stats.

Since 2015-16, Walker has shot 37.8 percent on 3s off screens, including shots off the bounce, per Synergy. Walker is about as effective using dribble handoffs, scoring 1.05 points per possession since 2015-16, per Synergy.

Ah, I just looked into it. These are his percentages in the past 4 years: 34 (this season), 40, 46, 44 = 41%

Looks like he's right around 1.2 makes per game the past 4 years and I'd say this season is definitely an outlier

That's an encouraging factor in terms of his fit with Luka. Another pick and roll threat is also a plus
