I'm encouraging our ballsy players to be the leading men they are. Robins are great for 46 minutes, but Batman comes through in the Klutch.
I read Amick’s article on the Athletic. Basically says they will take calls, but they aren’t shopping and Pelinka would be reluctant to deal him. Kuz was one of Rob’s early successes so the article discusses that. Also addresses the recent social media gaffe from Kuz’s trainer about Lebron and says Lebron is still a Kuz supporter. So essentially teams are and will keep calling, Lakers would be reluctant, so it points to us keeping him or waiting for someone to blow us away.
Another click bait article of complete nothingness. Just include the Lakers in your title, and you can save your job by getting clicks. I can’t see Kuzma going anywhere. we need what he brings, AND we need another guard.
Yeah. Trading Kuz is so problematic for a number of reasons. If KCP didn't have a defacto no trade clause, I'd give it more of a chance because then we're taking a 12 million dollar player back. But what player is going to give us Kuz's production at 3 million a season? Kuz + Green? That would likely end up being a lateral move. This team is pretty set for the next two seasons. Maybe a Cousins or Dwight in or out, Collison in...but this whole team is essentially signed through 2021.
If we get Collison, no need for another pg. So take out a young guy like White in a trade idea Bogdan makes sense, but theres pros and cons Pros: Better player Better fit (shooting and playmaker) Better overall team d, not as good man d I believe (kuzma has gotten better) Cons: Have to pay him in the summer, removing a lot of 2021 flexibility He is 27 already We now have a hole at bigger forward If we had a guy like Iggy, then the deal makes a lot more sense Imagine: KCP, Green, Lebron, AD, Mcgee Collison, Caruso, Bogdan, Iggy, Dwight Rondo, Cook, Avery, THT, Dudley Boogie doesn't take up a spot I believe unless he plays right (since we have exception) Those 1st 10 names are the playoff rotation...might be best in the league
Kuz is not being traded. Everything out there is click bait. The numbers simply don’t match. It would be very difficult and with him being injured Much of the beginning part of the season it would be good to see how he develops. I honestly think he would do much better with someone like Collison running the point. Rondo is a train wreck and I lay the blame at his feet for the lack of chemistry with some of these younger guys.
