Both have talent but the drive isn't there. We cashed out at the right time.

To be fair, he balled out last game. But your point still stands.

Would love BI on this team as our 6th man instead of Kuzma

Ball handler who has some length to help guard Kawhi. Doesn't have strength (neither does KCP), but he has length. A playmaker who can create his own shot

You recognize this, but that's the thing: He's just soooooo incredibly inconsistent. I have absolutely no idea what dictates that, but between that and the injuries he's one of the more frustrating prospects we've ever had.

I remember he had a near 30-point triple-double in like his second or third game with us, at which point you're thinking we might really have something. But he hasn't had a game close to that in two years since.

It's too bad, because his combination of size and instincts is something special. But I had the exact same reaction when I saw his line: Thank goodness we don't have to put up with that anymore. He's still very young. But every single time he seemed to be turning a corner, it proved to be fool's gold.

Sounds like we might need to start deciding which Knicks players we're interested in.... Not sure any but it sounds like a fire sale is about to happen there.

And I imagine at some point other teams would follow, willing to give up older but serviceable veterans. Seems like the Iguodala thing fizzled out but I wonder if, say the Pelicans would part ways with JJ Reddick for example.

There's three guys on the gleague team that I can see as future NBA guys. Kostas, norvell and Horton Tucker deserve some NBA game time.

Would love Marcus Morris here, but I don't see that happening

They have paid some of these guys over market it seems. That's hard to do in the modern NBA. Not sure how we'd swing a trade for anyone meaningful.

Any new news or rumors involving Iguodala? as more time passes and this team gels, I find it more and more unnecessary to grab him. I think our main key concern is playmaking/scoring when Lebron sits and I think that is sort of a kill 2 birds w one stone deal if we grab just one premium 3 point specialist (will amp our 3pt shooting AND will allow playmaking/scoring more facilitated)

I really like the idea of Lauri Markkanen on this team , i know he's not really popular now and he's real soft, but i think coming into our system will bring out the better in him (Lauri for Kuzma)

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Could gallinari be a great pick up for us? Would spread the offense with his shooting?
