Kemba is trending

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau tells reporters that Kemba Walker is out of the rotation, and Alec Burks will remain the starting point guard.

Tom Thibodeau says Kemba Walker is out of the Knicks rotation 'as of right now'

A statistical summary of why the Knicks are pulling Kemba Walker from the rotation: Knicks have the best defense in the league when he’s on the bench (99.0 DRtg) & are dead last (116.3 DRtg) when he’s on the floor. They are 27th in offense with him playing, 9th with him off.

Kemba Walker this season: 11.7 PPG 2.6 RPG 3.1 APG 24.5 MPG All career-lows The Knicks have been outscored by 122 points with Kemba on the floor this season, the worst +/- by any player on a winning team.

Dame Lillard and Kemba Walker are the same age and one of them is gonna play in Zimbabwe next season, this NBA shit is nuts.

Tom Thibodeau says Kemba Walker will no longer be in the rotation moving forward "I have great respect for who Kemba is as a person number one and all that he's accomplished in this league, but I have to do what I think is best for the team"

You have to play defense if you want to play for Thibs. Kemba wasn’t giving the Knicks that. Carry on... https://t.co/DY8daCg7mV

Kemba gotta retire. Losing your starting job to Alec Burks is crazy

Tom Thibodeau says, at the moment, PG Kemba Walker is not part of the NYK rotation. Says he views Walker as a starter & doesn’t see good fit for Walker off bench. “I have great respect for who Kemba is as a person… & all he's accomplished in this league."

Kemba Walker on the Shanghai Sharks next year https://t.co/8AIWGCrij2

Nick Nurse is a criminal in my books for what he did to Kemba

Dog I can’t believe we’re watching Kemba Walker go out like this 😔

Kemba being scapgoated when franchise pillars randle & barrett are shooting andre roberson %’s 🙄

Kemba got potted meat holding his ACL together so it makes sense https://t.co/GeVEC5OJbg

@big_business_ who knew that from the PGs in the 2011 draft class Reggie Jackson and Alex Burks would be having the best season in 2021 and not Kyrie, Kemba, IT and Jimmer Range

People tried to crucify MJ at the time but not paying Kemba is probably the best move made under him as owner

As happy as I am that we got off his contract and got Horford for him, this shit is just sad Kemba couldn’t even walk over quarantine, then came in, was our best clutch player against elite playoff defenses in his first deep playoff run on top of leadership moments like these https://t.co/AqjBOjADec

Stevens' 1st offseason as GM: 5 good moves. 1. Kemba out/Horford in ✅ 2. Acquired Josh Richardson ✅ 3. Traded Tristan Thompson ✅ 4. Signed Schröder for cheap ✅ 5. Signed Kanter on vet min ✅ https://t.co/0rODlhxyA0

In a better place than Kemba Walker in oh so many ways. https://t.co/CtDG8ck03T

@MikeVorkunov The obvious difference is that Kemba can’t guard anyone at this point. Thibs liked Payton’s defense even if he did nothing on offense. Kemba isn’t bringing anything other than the occasional three. This move had to be made.

Like I said weeks ago !!!! Kemba is fucking toast https://t.co/D7tfgVmwL7

Brad Stevens' trade of Kemba Walker wasn't exactly criticized at the time, but nevertheless it received further validation Monday. https://t.co/oZYRcDbEyp

@StateNYKPOD I see a lot of outrage about Kemba walker getting benched. Someone answer me this, name one nba team right now where Kemba Walker can start on.

The Mavs, Pacers and Sixers make sense as potential trade destinations for Kemba Walker. Here's why 👀 https://t.co/irnhMs7eUB

Tom Thibodeau es uno de esos entrenadores a los que no les tiembla el pulso desde luego. Veremos lo que juega Kemba Walker con la camiseta de los Knicks. https://t.co/6AEnm42XEL

Kemba & Alec Burks contract was more important tho 🙄

Knicks traded Dennis Smith Jr. for Derrick Rose last season. Wonder what we could get for Kemba Walker…? 🤔

Al hilo de lo que hablábamos en el podcast sobre Kemba, pero con los números… … números que asustan… … que asustan a Kemba … … y a su agente https://t.co/j8dil9TyNT

Kemba being out the rotation is wild

@d_reif @StacyPatton89 https://t.co/Z6nxuUasb7 Against opposing second units I guarantee he will be, at his very worst he’ll be a substantial improvement on Kemba on that end
