i'm not even a huge fan like that but he still has a year left before he has to be paid and was progressing before they put him on the bench this year. the chance of drafting someone good at the end of the 1st is real low. neither is likely to work out but the pick is even less likely. here's how you know what was more valuable, you could get the pick for morris but you couldn't get kuzma. unless they plan to use that pick in a trade. if i was them i would be trying to trade this late 1st for another late 1st for next year or the year after. once you pick the player the value of the pick usually turns to sh*t overnight. but if you want to make a trade for a superstar down the line, it's good to have that late 1st as an extra to throw in.
once he gets paid in a year or whatever people will hate him just like Randle. Who like I said is a better player.
He played with the best duo in the NBA and still sucked.
If he is worse than Randle as a player, then it says more about how Kuzma is bad than Randle being good. But you make a good point. People will hate any player if he's overpaid, blocking the development of the youth, chucks a lot, and actually sucks.
indeed it does
