If Horst can pull off Butler, that would soften the blow. Watching Kuzma play, he does a lot of similar stuff to Bobby Portis, with the way he plays. That could work if Portis is gone but having them both feels redundant. Kuzma is far from some scoring wing he was in his LA days. We need more competent wings.

Kd to Milwaukee
Jimmy and picks to Phoenix
Our garbage to Miami

Miami is free of Butler and can flip Brook and Bobby
Phoenix gets their guy and extra picks, can now build around their trio
Milwaukee reenters contender status

Going to be awesome to find out that Kuzma is the only deal they make and that they were "involved" in Jimmy, KD, Cam Johnson only to fall short because they didn't have the assets.

I wanted Jimmy but there is no way this can work

Can Liam Robbins give us 20mpg?

Don’t think they’re far enough under 2nd apron to sign a buyout guy even

Well, I guess we can cling to this for the next 24-hours until he inevitably gets his wish and is shipped off to Phoenix.

How do you fill out the rest of he roster?

Lillard
AjAx/Trent
Butler/Green
Kuzma/Prince
Giannis/Bamba

WOW. If this is a the big move, fire Horst into the sun.

Feels like a precursor to something bigger, though.

I wonder why this already gives me a sense of deja vu...

Ok let’s see something like this
MKE Isaac, Bogdon
ATL Pat, 4th team asset
ORL Lopez, Marjon
4th team Portis

Dame, Rollins
Ajax, Green
Bogdon, Trent
Giannis, Kuzma
Isaac, (Giannis), buy out

Now that I know that the 2031 pick isn't involved, I find it more likely that there is a follow up move coming. Especially with Bobby being home for the last few games. It's just a matter of what that move is. And I hope it isn't DeRozan.

Good point. We are required to have 12 players on the roster. Baldwin can not be aggregated now and Rollins needs a real contract if we want him for the playoffs.

This is tough math for Jimmy

Is Mo Bamba Bad?

If we do trade Lopez, he might be cheap

wallus · Post #1633 » by **wallus** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 5:35 pm

Cam Johnson is the move now

mlloyd10 · Post #1634 » by **mlloyd10** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 5:35 pm

I mean, would anyone be upset at a Pat C/Portis for DeRozan trade?

Not sure how that makes the team better, DeRozan is going to play off the ball and take long 2s while providing nothing on D? Think you just keep Bobby, at least has size

Yep, send Wright to Miami in the deal and Love to Milwaukee. Gets Miami out of paying Love next season.

Yep. Bobby to a third team for pick and a young player, that plus 2031 picks and the second they just got and matching salary to the Nets.

As much as wanted to like him... he's slow, he cut his mullet off and he seems to bobble the ball every time they pass to him.

Ron Swanson · Post #1640 » by **Ron Swanson** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 5:45 pm

Not paying a premium for Kuzma to then pay a premium for Cam Johnson and end up with three of our top-4 players being PF's.
