I guess the hope for Kuzma is he turns it around like Deandre Hunter did this year. I hate it, but it sets up a reset for next year.

Make it work however you have to. Giannis and Zion would be fun. New Orleans would probably be interested in the 2031 1st and Brooks 23m expiring as a starter.

If Dallas was worried about Luka long term, I’m sure New Orleans feels the same way about Zion.


A guy who provides zero spacing and is competing with Luka for fattest player in the league, while also being injured 80% of his games, what could go wrong?

patc and brogdon are irrelevent. after this year brogdon expires and leaves. we get off patc here too. brogdon may help this year but may not even show. who even cares.

kuzma and val younger and healthier than midds and lopez. thats the obvious point. youre literally mocking me on that?


Yeah because they’re 100% not young players and won’t even be in the league in a few years all the same. That doesn’t extend the window at all. They’re marginally younger and not as good.


young is relative to who youre comparing them too :lol:

im 52. thats young compared to my grandpa :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

kuzmas younger than giannis ffs. your being obtuse bro

Something to keep an eye on is Durant. Washington (+325) would be the favorites followed by us (+375).

Wizards have a lot of young pieces that were lottery picks. Kuzma makes sense if we are looking to add someone with potential in addition.

Probably small chance but Washington could go after Durant and then other vets (ie Mids) as well. They may be at their reflection point for rebuilding. If that's the case, Im looking at their recent lotto picks.

kuzma and val are 4 years younger a piece than midds and lopez. neither have ever suffered a major injury. both on resonable deals.

lopez is a ticking timebomb and midds guts are already splattered on the street.

I'm finally at the point where I think you pretty much have to trade Khris for any reasonable 30+ minute playoff guy. It all just depends on what your goal is re: long term or short term. Keeping him and watching his body further disintegrate just isn't an option for me anymore. No way he turns down that $34 million player option at this stage.

All the talk and we will be the 4th team in KD trade that has Conny leave and we get some bench guy for $2 mil a year.

I'm just seeing what other teams are landing and at what prices and honestly feels like we're being stonewalled by the league sometimes.

We need to bleed ourselves to make some mid trades, while other teams are getting handed good deals left and right.

Trade if we dont get KD. Does that make us better? I like CJ a lot and I know he def is not great.

NO: Portis, Conny and Beauchamp
Det: Lopez
Wiz: Hardaway
Bucks: McCollum and Valanciunas

PG: Dame....Jackson
SG: CJ..........Green
SF: Midds.....Wright
PF: Giannis...Prince
C: Val.............Buyout Center/Forward

If we're trading Khris, I much rather have ZION than Kuzma.

midds/patc/lopez plus anything and everything else they want besides giannis/dame
for
durant/plumlee

come on make it happen

a back up option if theyre trying to blow it up involving the suns would be lopez/patc/delon for nurkic and royce oneal. curious how dame would do with nurkic vs lopez. oneal is a defense first guy. that puts us under the apron and unloads patc for a real contributor anyway. keeps midds and portis around too

I’m not a Horst hater but I cannot shake the feeling that he’s gonna botch this deadline completely.
