Unlike many Boston fans and the media, I actually like Kemba Walker. I believe the Celtics might not have done the proper due diligence on his knee before signing him to a max contact in the summer of 2019, but that's not Kemba's fault. If Kemba didn't agree to sign in Boston for max dollars, he could have found that exact same max contract with a few other teams. And who reading this has ever been offered $18 an hour for a job and responded, "No thank you. I'm only worth $8 per hour. Just give me that."
Boston has turned on Kemba because of his contract and knee.
