Just watch the Kuzma youtube highlights. The rest isn't worth it. No Ball and no Ingram.


Man, he performs even without Lonzo. This is how we know he is the real deal. He (Kuzma) is riding a longer wave than Randle has ever been on in his career. He almost has to start from Day 1...

Its both amazing and sad that Kuzma seems to already be a better player/fit than Randle

I'll reserve final judgement until I see Brook and Randle together.


I think he is already a better player than Randle. The only thing Randle has on Kuzma is rebounding. Kuz is a far superior offensive player. On defense Randle may be marginally better, depending on which night you're watching.

Magic stated Nance is a wanted man right now. No need to trade him for a shooter when we're not competing against the Warriors.

If other teams want Nance, they will have to take one of our bad contracts along with him. Deng or Clarkson. Might not be realistic but Nance is much more valuable to us than Randle, Clarkson, Deng, and Zubac.

Randle needs to go before anyone else.

I think Walton's prospects as s head coach will rely heavily on his ability to recruit a good defensive assistant coach. By now it's clear he can't coach that side or motivate players to give effort.

He needs his version of Ron Adams.

I thought that's what Shaw was brought in for. Doubt they get rid of Shaw so i think we're stuck for the foreseeable future.

I think Lopez and Bogut will change our defensive presence immensely... So let's not judge our D too much until we're at full strength.

I also think Bogut was brought in to be a Defensive Assistant of sorts... So let's give him a little time to get established.

Also, we were a terrible team on D last season, and the only real changes we've made outside of the ingured Cs, is we brought in a bunch of rookies, and KCP...

Honestly, there's no reason to expect this team to be a whole lot better than it is right now...

Totally agree. We need a defensive coordinator.

And yet Kuzma is doing all this with no talent around him. Imagine if he had really good players around him :o
