Will the geniuses in Miami pass on KJ too?

At what point is AK getting back in for KJ.

Idk what Miami does they need a playmaker which could be KJ but he is more combo guard, they also need depth at the bigs which could mean Newell. Or they could draft way off base as usual and grab a guy no one was looking at and he'll end up being a steal until he signs with someone else 4 years from now and is really a bust.

We have 30 guards, one a similar type PG he's about to give a long-term deal, he is not thinking about KJ. If he jumps back in, it should be for a center. Kalkbrenner or Raynaud.

What about Queen being traded for immediately and someone giving up a high first next year to do it?

Miami takes KJ good spot for him

I told y’all the bulls weren’t doing anything. Idk why they work y’all up every year. Ak is just chilling. Vuc still on this team so I expect him to remain until at the earliest the trade deadline if not the entire season. Why bec AK is lazy and doesn’t value draft picks!!

You were correct. Let’s see how it pans out.

Yeah that’s why. Laziness.

jakucionis playing with bam and ware is a really nice landing spot (plus herro's there to ease the creation/scoring load)

That trade surprised me.

Does Dumars think that New Orleans is a playoff team?

Fears, Queen, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Yves Missi, Zion and Jordan Poole.

There you go. KJ is gone...to Miami. Miami got a steal.

Good spot for 7th or 8th man potential.

Mother f-fers.

They grabbed underrated by many here Ware last year, now steal KJ despite having Herro and the two heavily overlapping. Good for them.

It's been reported AK has contacted multiple teams about adding another first. Most of our players have big contracts, takes two to make a deal.
