Except Toppin can shoot and makes $14M a year.
Toppin is a better player

Agreed and we’ll be paying double for Kuminga if the rumors come true. Luckily with this FO they never do

And Toppin is 27. 4.5 years older than Kuminga. At Kuminga's age Toppin was still playing for Dayton. Toppin has accepted he's a role player in the NBA. Kuminga has not. And at 22 years old he probably shouldn't.

Kuminga can score the ball and is talented.
But he has not good basketball IQ and the only think he has in his mind is to score the ball.
That is why Warriors didn't play him.
He didn't take part to any system of Warriors. Every minute he played, he thought he was the system.

He may is right to think that Warriors didn't treat him well, a different environment for him will tell us.

Wouldn’t DeRozan, as old as he is, fit the team better than Komepinga? Especially if you can get him for peanuts.

Don't love the Mitchell Deal. Don't hate it either.

It's not super cheap, and I would've liked to see at least a third year team option on a deal for a player that was looking at a minimum contract if we didn't revive his career.

Whatever. I expect us to waive Duncan which is fine by me, he's a serviceable rotation player making at least double then wat he should, if not triple.


I'd like to see s make another move with the useless Wiggins contract, try to get younger and more scoring and or get future assets out of trading him away.

So Shams is wrong about Kuminga?

Ethan and Barry are right? Lol

Yeah I did notice that too. The guys who never break Heat news and only give us the autopsy after a deal is completed or not completed are throwing water on a Shams report.

Not at all. I just match condescension with an equal amount of it in return.

Probably fanning the flame since we’re not technically supposed to be discussing things like signing Kuminga and it’s had tons of smoke, they’ve sent their lap dogs to try and ease things up. Funny considering when Naz just signed his deal yesterday it was reported he had multiple suitors offering him the same deal AND a starting role on their team that he turned down lol.

Everyone tampers.
