    his absolute peak would be a rashard lewis type, i think. i don't think he'll get there, though. lewis was a slightly better athlete with a little more range on the j.

    Caruso thrown in? Nobody just throws Caruso in a corner.... Truth be told I’d be majorly disappointed if we get rid of Caruso.

    We're getting Caruso at a severe discount on his contract compared to his contribution to the team. We need to keep him and make him focus on developing his 3pt shooting.

    I wouldn't trade him unless it was a deal breaker to get a big name player.

    Yeah, I'm not trading Caruso. Waaaay too much value for his contract. He and LeBron were the best 2 man team in the NBA this year.

    Antawn? Similar to that, yes. He was a 19/8 player, who did not pass that well and shot 35% for 3, with a PER of 18.

    Kuz right now has career stats of 16/5, similar passing ability ;) , shooting 33% for 3, with a PER of close to 14. So yeah, those 'Tawn stats above are his peak. Otherwise, he is Ariza with a bit more scoring. Which is fine with me, BTW. But that's not your 3rd guy, that's your "glue" player who contributes on a championship team.

    Don't mince comparisons. Be proud and say it .... a "souped up" Trevor Ariza! :clap: :rofl:

    I know you said "type", but I have to disagree with the comp. Lewis' jumper had to be respected pretty early on. At least that's how I remember it. Kuz as a long, long way to go in that regard. At best, Kuzma is an explosive scorer and at worst he's a frantic player. I feel like Lewis was never the latter.

    Denver is playing better in the late 3rd qtr.
    Bron is going to need to play it out.
    21 - 8 r un unacceptable. Murry hobbled, Jock itch in foul trouble. WTF?

    Clamp down on GRANT...

    Denver is going to get the calls if the Lakers don't keep the RPMs over 7K...
