    Maybe Pop is too busy worrying about his first year Olympic coaching suckage and reputation to remember to screw us and demand THT or AC as well as Kuz and the 22nd pick?

    Go to work LeGM. Get DDR for the min AND keep Kuz.

    The turnoff about DDR is he doesnt even look to shoot the 3 which is an awful attribute for a perimeter player. I like him as a scorer off the bench to run the offense or get midrange buckets.

    Adios Kuz.

    You were never going to be a long term fit with AD here. Good luck in DC. Hope you dominate the fashion scene there.

    I said I was opposed to trading Kuz just for the sake of trading him. This is not that. Good luck wherever you end up Kuz.

    Kuz! You outlasted all the other kids, but now it's your turn to go.

    Kuz is gonna average 20 a night. He just needs to find his way in the league. He'll do just fine in Washington

    Yeah I think he’s going to do well wherever he lands if given a green light, he’s not as good as his rookie year, and he’s not as bad as his worst year, somewhere in the middle. He’s a solid NBA player for sure though, I wish him well, I’m glad he wasn’t a throw-in for AD, as he ended up helping us land another star.

    i actually thought he was a much better basketball player the last two years vs. the first two. we were just so terrible back then that somebody had to do something.

    i'd like to see what he can do as a starting sf. over time, i think that's the role he needed to play, and here he was with ingram and then lebron (or both).

    if washington keeps beal, i think he could play off him (and hachimura) quite well, in theory. can't imagine beal wants to roll with that, but...

    I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop now with Beal. He had to have asked out. I can't imagine he wants to sit around with Kuz and KCP finishing in the play-in round for the prime of his career.

    well he sure made it tough on his team to move him if he did. gs was sitting there with two lotto picks that they've now already made.

    He was a much improved player in the last 2 seasons, only those who care mainly for scoring would say otherwise. His defense, passing, rebounding, and cutting off ball all improved. I only bring up his rookie or first couple years to say that he was never THAT good of a scorer/shooter, or as bad as he was say this last season at scoring. It was somewhere in the middle if you look at his 4 year averages.

    I always liked Kuz. He made strides to improve his overall defense the past two years. Advice to Kuz: Get your a** off social media and work on your game night and day. Your brand ain’t worth a s*** if your on-court production doesn’t improve.
