    Nah. No Dennis. Just heard the C's are already trying to dump him by the trade deadline.

    We weren't going to stand pat so the team would likely have hield or someone else instead.

    Kuzma has been blowing up with the Wiz the last month. Just pisses me off the team and stars gave up on a squad that won and actually liked playing basketball together to this definitely not fun team.

    Just adding Stan, Reaves, Monk, Melo, Dwight to Ad/Lebron/Kuzma/KCP/Caruso would have been so much better then what we're watching even with all the injuries

    really think THT is the next kuz. we're going to dump him for something not good, and he's going to make us look dumb.

    THT is going to play very well for a different team, I am almost 100% sure of that.

    essentially every young guy we traded away or let walk for nothing have done better elsewhere

    It's weird. It's almost the reverse-Lebron effect. Typically the role players that play with Lebron leave his team (or Lebron leaves their team) and they fall off a cliff. Tristan Thompson, Dellavedova, Mario Chalmers...Our role players leave and get better.

    anyone could've predicted kuzma finally reaching his potential in washington

    whether it was the pressure holding him back, lebron, or the system.....who knows. but the same will for sure happen with THT if he's dealt. no point trading him during a lost season

    If Kuz was still here there would be daily discussions on who we could trade him for just like it was last season. Same with the rest of the guys who are gone except Caruso.

    word. he'd be the same player but with the same opportunities that our system affords non-stars (very little). i was glad he was traded just so i could stop hearing the whining about a useful player. love to hear thoughts from those folks now.

    Oh no! The false narrative that Kuz is trash is crumbling before our eyes!

    Honestly, a top tier coach would have figured out how to properly use Kuzma when he was here.

    Except he wouldn't because Kuzma would be competing with Lebron and AD for minutes. He needed a bad team where he could get a lot of usage to be a top option to put up these kinds of numbers.

    Considering how much time both have missed, it would have worked just fine.

    On National TV. With Reggie pointing out our recent history of failure against them. Without Kawhi and Paul George. Getting punked in the clutch, again, by two of the most annoying dudes in the league with Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris.

    Don’t care that we fought back and AD got tapped on the last second shot.

    I’m so tired of this team.
