    If Kawhi becomes a Laker....Kuzma will have to expand his game because otherwise he won't be able to contribute enough to this team and becomes an afterthought.

    He needs to be able to contribute without 15 field goal attempts a game and he better be ready to spot up, rebound, make plays etc...

    With three stars (taking their shots) he is in danger of losing some value. He has probably/hopefully recognized it. He won't become Draymond Green but that would be what this team needs most. Guys that play D and do the dirty work without complaining and still find ways to shine.

    I don’t think his value will diminish to much tbh, with two of the theee sitting at a time we will need a secondary reliable scoring threat in with one of them who can make a bucket.

    Plus Kuz is quite good off the ball as shown with LBJ last season.

    But I agree, to increase his value to the team his D/rebounding/3PT% need to improve.

    I envision him as a 6th man going forward. He'd be excellent in that role.

    Yup, he’ll become the 6th man. He just needs to work on scoring efficiently and improve his movement without the ball. He’s already good at cutting for easy layups from Lebron. Also encouraging to see that hes been working with LethalShooter, we saw it work wonders with KCP, hoping for a more consistent Kuz from the 3.

    :Laugh: I’ll never understand the magic spell these Kardashian/Jenner women seem to possess. From one NBA player or celeb to the next.

    I don’t either but isn’t Kuz into fashion, the Karsashian/Jenners have a big stake in that game around here.

    Well yeah, but these are NBA players, they have women throwing themselves at them, I’m sure there’s plenty of crazy in there too and it doesn’t come with a curse. :D

    I would be wary of them if I were in the NBA

    She’s almost a billionaire right? If Kuz can hold on to his sanity then that’s a nice biz move. But if not, then seeJ. Clarkson.

    Just seems like a really bad career move.

    Get yourself tested bro.

    l’ll make a gender neutral comment here in saying that a billion dollars is a looooooot of money to date. I’d challenge anybody to look past that if they thought they had the chance to lock that up. It’s just not worth ending up like Kanye crazy.
