True and it's not like he's playing for chump change after the buy out:You take that as a "hometown discount." The concept of the hometown discount is much more common in baseball, but it applies here. Part of the rationale behind any hometown discount is you make up the discount and then some on the hometown endorsement opportunities. Kemba will have plenty more than $4 million in endorsements playing in NYC and much more than he would have had in OKC, so I don't see this as a net loss in the Kemba wallet. He is a marketable NYC born and bred athlete. Just needs to be healthy and productive to fully cash in on this part of it.
Nice to see Kemba going home to a team on an upward trend, rather being stuck in purgatory with OKC.If Kemba was obtained to play in his hometown for no discount that's pretty good for him. It would appear that the Knicks have a much better team on paper than the OKC Thunder. The Knicks actually look like they could be decent or better. We will see how good the Argentinian point guard they picked up actually is, but they made some very positive moves to shore up weaknesses with scoring and at point guard. If they can also get the 7'1 center Robinson back and keep him healthy they will be an easy playoff team and maybe something of a threat once they get there, which they weren't this year. They also have a really good coach.
Big time agree.....When I saw that Drummond signed with Philly, I thought it was a punk'ish move to play behind a guy that's done nothing but talk smack to him, from what I've read. You face your demons by being his bitch ?....You mean there wasn't another team out there that he could sign with to still compete against him ???Tobias Harris, who can do a few more things on offense, gets to start over Drummond. I think Drummond might be on the wrong team........he is on the team to provide a serviceable backup to Embiid because Dwight Howard signed with LA, and Drummond can do that, but that role serves the 76ers team more than it serves Drummond.........
I caught the 2nd half of the Knicks game after I came back from the MBB Open practice at Gampel, guess the Knicks had one of those old Knicks nights. Toronto got all over them defensively and turned a big defecit into an as win. NY couldn't hit a thing from 3, so back to reality. Still think Kemba, Barrett, Randle and Co. could do some damage.The additions of him and Fournier and the improved stroke of Barrett have really bolstered the Knicks 3 point attack.
