Some thoughts I had on the supermax stuff
1) Does this make the Hornets more or less likely to keep Kemba? If they don't want to offer him the supermax, does he take that as an insult and leave even if they offer more than anyone else can? (Also, Bobby Marks pointed this out on twitter, Kemba Walker is coming off a 4/48 deal; crazy to think the AAV on the supermax deal he is eligible for is nearly (44.3 vs 48) equal to the total value of the contract he's on right now
2) Are the Hornets happy he's now eligible or not?
3) There as video of Klay today learning he didn't make all NBA and isn't super max eligible, he was clearly disappointed and understandably so. He said something like he plays to win titles and not to make all NBA. Which, totally fair, and I buy it, but he's already won 3 titles, you think he'd trade another one for $40 million?
I know it didn't end great for Boston/Kyrie, but he was pretty awesome this year. At first blush, i'd have voted for him over Klay. Klay vs Kemba is interesting
Also, just thinking about this, Lebron made third team, and that's probably where he deserved to be. The talent at forward in the league right now preposterous. Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, and Lebron all didnt make first team, and it was totally justified. That's ridiculous!
