Wasn't it a joke because of the filter he used or whatever? People took that serious lol

I today’s pre draft pod squad with Matt loyd they asked him if RJ is taller he said he definitely is but is not sure if the 6’7” number is right

If Hampton is 6'7 that would be AWESOME! Someone find out the truth! :D

There is a reason these guys made it to the NBA, because they are elite as compared to all basketball players. Of course if one of them plays against non NBA players they will look like NBA Live 99 rating players everytime. What really matters is what they do against other NBA players.

Part of me thinks Weltman will do his best to trade Ross to a contender. Add to that, Ross's agent is Rich Paul. So I could see a trade with the Lakers and maybe us getting Kuzma in return.
I could get behind a team built around Fultz/ Cole/RJ, Kuzma, JI and whatever this years draft produces.

It'd have far better chance of success than the one that was built around Vuc AG and Evan.. Man, am I glad we made those trades!

Keep Kuzma away from this young team. He thinks he's Tatum and would be Bacon all over again.

Wow. Not saying he's an all star but I would go so far as to say he's closer to being like Tatum than he is to being like bacon.. but that's probably because of how bad a player bacon is imo..

have to agree with MF82. Kuzma is a star in his own head.

I wouldn't want Kuzma in Orlando if he wanted to play for free.

If it he hadnt just signed at 3 year extension and it included the 22nd pick with Kuzma, id be up for that. Like id be fine with a rental of a 3m a year kuzma looking for his next contract if we could another pick in the 20s

But straight up Ross for Kuzma (i think both making 13m right?), no thank you

Didny LozMa just gave Orlando a major disrespect in an interview? Why do we want him?

Well if its just for the lolz because we are petty and giving him his worst nightmare... then why not.

Are you serious? Someone actually wants Kuzma?!? He’s a head case and I don’t want him anywhere near any of these guys! This is the guy that said he would still shoot the ball if Jesus was guarding him. He’s perfect on the Lakers coz I despise them!

Jesus has those holes in his hands, so he'd be a more aerodynamic defender. Good luck with that Kuuuuuz.

Trading for Kuzma is a fire-able offense IMO
