DDR for Kuzma.

Kings need a forward bad. Real bad. This bad.

Bucks get someone they can sell as a second option.

I actually don't hate it, FWIW

I think it’s solid, but I hate how it makes me feel.

I can't stand either player. Demar is partial guaranteed next year. It would be a no from me. Rather be done with Demar after this year, then stuck with Kuzma/LaVine next.

bucks owe some value. maybe send a 2026 swap to OKC to return the 2027 SAS top 16 1st back to Sacramento

Kuzma was born to be a Sacramento King. It’s inevitable at some point

Agree, but it’s a good upgrade for the Bucks unless they’re gonna make a splashier acquisition with the ‘31 FRP and Kuzma’s salary.

Sure, why not? It's not bad for both teams, it's sad for both teams.

The Chilwaukramento Bulckings are finally complete.

BucKing hell

Yeah I think it makes sense actually.

I hate it for the Bucks. No team that's trying to contend should aspire to have Demar on their roster.

I would have to watch the Kings in person several times if they run a lineup of Schroder/LaVine/Murray/Kuzma/Sabonia. It is the basketball equivalent of 24 hours of Lemons

This is one of those weird ones where the players are so insanely bad, yet the trade is pretty good

The perfect response to this trade.

DeRozan has never been bad.
It's pretty clear to me that he has never played on a team who can use him as a clear second option (since he can't be first).

So it's 4 different teams' fault and not his. At some point, there's a common denominator

4 different teams have used him as the 1st option. When it's obvious that he is not.
And let's say that the Raptors and the Spurs, believed he could be that guy.
But for the Bulls and the Kings there's no excuse.

Again. Use DeRozan as a sidekick to a Durant. To a Jokic. To a Giannis. And see what he can do. I believe he can do a lot freed by the pressure.

It works for both and I’m on board.

Agree that Bucks owe a bit and the suggestion to quash the ‘27 Spurs first obligation is ideal.

Those of you saying derozan is just as bad as kuzma is out to lunch. derozan at least raises the floor of the teams hes been on. Kuzma does nothing

Contending teams should aspire to have Kuzma on their roster instead?
