    I’m relatively high on the Kuminga idea, but yeah I do feel a lot of similarities with how this has all played out to the Christian Wood saga.

    Feel like I can say I wasn’t on board with wood from the get go, and I don’t think it’s the same. Wood was more like the pf/c version of cam thomas, imo.

    But im not going to pitch a fit if we don’t get Kuminga. I get why, from both sides. I just don’t feel comfortable with the roster as is.

    Weird that our plan was to leave 2 starter spots open. Grimes is passable as a starter, but the rest are bench players. We really need one of Kuminga, PJ, or Johnson/Watson.

    on the bright side, the clips are hurt by having to hold onto kawhi and not being able to make any more moves with that trade being held up

    What was this Wood " controversy " we are talking about? That guy signed a vet minimum contract. He ended up having a bum knee.
