2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Then let’s just agree to disagree. That would be a horrible trade and I’d be disgusted if this team made that and would probably stop watching. Personally, I don’t shake up rosters for average players.

 

Rondo, Cook, Daniels should all be cut for buyout players.

We need all the help we can get off the bench when Kuzma plays like Kyle Ramen noodle.

 

Horrible trade? What's more horrible than what Kuzma and Green have done this season while collectively being paid 17 million? At least Marcus Morris is playing above his salary rate. What are these two bozos doing? Kuzma is out posting about sponsorships and endorsements while he drops 5 points on 15% shooting? I'm sorry but this clown is a distraction. Clippers are solidly building a championship dynasty while we are here talking about not wanting to trade Kuzma? This stuff is a mess. How many times does this guy have a bad performance and we are still talking about his cheap garbage contract?

 

Why are we blaming Cook and Daniels when Vogel doesn't even give them a chance to shoot?

If we don't let our shooters shoot instead of the non specialists, we will be at a disadvantage against the teams with a lineup full of 40% 3 point shooters.

 

Frank Vogel doesn't want to lose his HC spot so he plays Rondo every game like it's a must. Cook and Daniels get zero playing time while they sit and watch as Kuzma and Rondo get 20+ minutes each to brick shot-after-shot. What irks me the most is the fact that Kuzma says stuff like, "Kobe told me if they aren't talking about you, you're doing something wrong" and that he is "the talk of the town." He comes out and plays like this. Please trade this clown.

 

Morris is playing above his contract grade but Kuz isn’t? Just stop. Morris makes 7x as much! This is a joke.

 

If they were good enough to play they would be by now. If they were such elite shooters they’d be getting paid like it by now. They aren’t good.

I’m not blaming them I’m blaming the fact they are still on the roster in spots that we have enough garbage at already.

 

He's also 7x better than Kyle Kuzma.

 

I don't think it can even work like that since Kuzma is a negative

 

Lol yeah sure thing boss.

 

Keep the excuses coming!!

 

Josh Hart: 11/6/2, 35% from three. Same age and salary as Kuzma.

Kuzma: 13/4/1 34% from three. Same age and salary as Josh Hart.

In the grand scheme of things, Kuzma is just a bum who has been overhyped thanks to his marketing and social media presence that he has been more concerned about than winning. Just the honest truth. We should have gotten rid of him when we had the chance because now we're stuck with some Instagram model.

 

Rid of him for what? Throw his $1.7M into the AD trade for fun? Hart can’t guard Kawhi so it’s not like swapping the 2 in that trade makes any difference. Please tell me what value you’d get with his rookie contract.

If you're ignorant about the subject, please don't come at someone with that ignorance. It's public info that we could have had Morris if we parted with Kuzma. Yes, we would have given up Green. And? Green hasn't exactly been very good and we would have to pay him $15 million NEXT season as well. Even if we win the championship and lost out on Morris, we would have $20 million in salary cap next season.

 

I don't blame the front office for keeping Kuzma over Hart based on last season, but Josh has really played well this year.

He still makes the occasional bonehead foul, but he is powerful the way bodies up players and rips rebounds from them

In retrospect we kept the wrong small contract

Great find. Hart is the more efficient scorer, rebounder, playmaker, and defender than Kuzma. Yet, Kuzma is the talk of the town. Just another bum. Every other team must be thinking what the hell are the Lakers so high up on Kuzma for.

 

I saw those absurd stories. And you’re ignorant for buying the media twist. The Lakers were not refusing to part with Kuz. The NY outlets twisted as such to push a deal, but the fact was we had to come up with another $10M in salary to make a deal. If you’re buying that it’s all about Kuz, then that’s you’re mistake.

 

I don’t necessarily disagree with this, but we’d still have the same problem of looking for another creator. I don’t think a Kuz/Hart debate moves the needle either way this current season. Kuz has a slightly higher ceiling, but Hart might have been a better fit.

 

I would rather have Hart and one of those 1sts back tbh

Hart kept Russ to 1/10 last year and 2/10 this year in individual matchups.

Not great vs a lot of other guys though, Kawhi has done work on him int his year in small sample. 1/4 last year though

Hart has more strength than Kuzma, stockier and knows how to use size
