2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

The contracts are public records. We don't pay bigs, look it up.

 

I know lots of people miss the bubble team. But gosh it’s tough watching KCP and Kuzma just be non factors and negatives in these playoffs.

 

we let lopez go, and we traded zubac. it was clearly a (bad) philosophy. i don't think we're there now. i think rob hasn't paid centers because we haven't had opportunities to do so since these bad choices.

 

they both need to be slotted properly, and neither is quite there (kuz is still being asked to be a 3rd scorer, and kcp needs to be the 5th starter/6th man with a couple dominant offensive players up top).

but yeah, not sure i'd prefer them over DFS and gabe/goodwin right now. maybe kcp over the latter, but that's purely theory, not based on his current production.

 

Kuzma has been terrible, we can argue he isn't slotted properly, but if he isn't a scorer, what exactly is he? He was in Washington as a 20 point scorer, he goes to the Bucks where they want to play serious basketball and he just can't contribute.

The KCP one is a bit stranger to me. He has Wagner and Banchero ahead of him that are pretty great. I think that core of Wagner, Banchero and Suggs are going to be great, they all attack the basket, defend and they're big. If they can develop some shooting between them, they're going to be a real problem. But KCP should theoretically be perfect for them, a 3&D SG. His defence is still holding up, but his shooting hasn't been good since he arrived to Orlando. I actually don't know where Orlando should go from here, if they stay patient, they'll be real good. But they need some help in the shooting department from their 5 and another guard.

 

Kcp's shot came and went randomly when he was here.
