Think about this Kuzma is older than Julius Randle and he's significantly worse.

i'm not even a huge fan like that but he still has a year left before he has to be paid and was progressing before they put him on the bench this year. the chance of drafting someone good at the end of the 1st is real low. neither is likely to work out but the pick is even less likely. here's how you know what was more valuable, you could get the pick for morris but you couldn't get kuzma. unless they plan to use that pick in a trade. if i was them i would be trying to trade this late 1st for another late 1st for next year or the year after. once you pick the player the value of the pick usually turns to sh*t overnight. but if you want to make a trade for a superstar down the line, it's good to have that late 1st as an extra to throw in.

once he gets paid in a year or whatever people will hate him just like Randle. Who like I said is a better player.

He played with the best duo in the NBA and still sucked.

Nuggets are like rocky or rope a dope Ali. They take your best shot then come back . They should be up 2-1. Love Murray's shot, obviously its accurate but its the speed that he gets it off...Curry like.

Caruso is annoying AF to me. Love when Murray made him his Biotch tonight.

Grant is a high motored Gazelle out there. Making Lebron look his age...

Great series so far.

LeBron looked old last night, AD played soft. Jokic prefers to play inside like a real big man.

Yea, I will take my chances on a late first. At least it is cost controlled/cheap.

Lakers didn't learn anything from the Clippers. They look way too arrogant and clowning around. I am sure Lebron will have a talk with them.

The excuse I kept hearing last night was they looked gassed

The last team that wants to hear that is the Nuggets who played in two game 7s already. The thing with the Lakers is they got way better leadership than the Clippers. Lebron and even Rondo aren't going to let the Lakers fold like the Clippers did but Nuggets aren't going to quit either.

Yea, it def sounds more like an excuse. The Lakers did get outplayed and outworked. But that is 100% on them.

If he is worse than Randle as a player, then it says more about how Kuzma is bad than Randle being good. But you make a good point. People will hate any player if he's overpaid, blocking the development of the youth, chucks a lot, and actually sucks.
