This is horrible for the Bucks. I don't care how bad Khris has been, Kuzma is a tank commander. AJ actually looks good too

Plus a pick swap? Yikes

I just really don't like Kuzma, he's not a winning basketball player.

Hopefully the Bucks can get him in line.

WTF is this?

MIL realllllly banking on Kuzma being better than he has shown this year... which I guess if I was in WAS I wouldnt try either

I like AJ Johnson thinking he could be good

I agree, but I guess he did win a ring in LAL as a pretty big cog. His fit as a bad shooter is weird though.

Needs to be a precursor to another deal.

Yeah in all fairness to Kuzma, the Wizards are in shameless tank mode, and his teammates are terrible. He proved he can be decent on a championship team with the Lakers, so maybe with the Bucks roster he will get back to serious, productive basketball.

He still wasn't' great for that team and his playoff numbers were bad.

Kuz isn't as bad as everyone likes to portray, and Kris is definitely a better player, but he's made of a glass and getting old, so I can understand the impetus as they want to try and keep being relevant while they still have Giannis.

Imagine being traded to the Wizards, gross.

Wiz improving their team for their Play-In Push getting a former AS in Middleton while Masai is still asleep at the wheel

It all depends on the next move. What can they get for Pat, Portis, (maybe Lopez) and their last remaining 1st?

He's pretty bad. He's a career 33% 3P shooter who is shooting 28% this year and still jacking up 6.5 a game.

To say he plays no defense isn't' much an exaggeration.

Well he's putting up a 49 TS% this season and he's a 54 TS% for his career. Not sure what you mean by "isn't as bad" means but he's a high USG inefficient chucker who doesn't defend, shoot 3's well or get to the line.

By the way, Jake Fischer was the first one on the news that Bucks were pursuing Kuzma. Then came David Aldridge and Josh Robbins. This is for those who question the validity of Fish.

They traded away their first round pick from this past draft to get Kyle Kuzma who won't help them defensively which has been a problem since they traded Jrue Holiday last year.

This trade makes no sense.

If they wanted to get below the apron...there were other ways to do it

Thanks Jake, I will never doubt you again.

I'm getting paid over $30 million per year guaranteed, I don't mind going to every bad franchise and being traded 2-3 times per year to play basketball.
