I really do think the chemistry on this team can't be effed with. If there was a deal that could be made for just Daniels (no BFFs on the team I know of like Cook and AD) and Kuzma that could being back Simone like Bogdan, I'd be all for it. But Cook, Dudley, or even Cousins (another AD bff) leaving the team I think would hit guys a little harder. And then you bring in Bogdan, who's still playing for a contract maybe more than he is a title, someone with no connection to anyone on the team? I dunno, maybe that cancels out the statistical upgrade over Kuzma.
That speaks to another area where Kuz's fit is awkward. Everyone else just wants to win. They've all bought into that "Ubuntu" the Celtics had (forgive the comparison)...except Kuz, who I still think is a little more concerned with bringing Kuzmania back. |

If Carroll doesn't regain his form, we could be revitalizing a rival with that trade, while giving the defense another player to ignore (Murray can't shoot).
Belinelli would be a bench ornament. |

I don't like it one bit, I think it would make the team significantly worse and I can't understand why everybody wants to get rid of DG. |

Murray just got an extension in Oct., so he can't be traded for 6 months, which means he's eligible to be dealt in April and that would place him past the trade deadline. So if it's for Murray in particular, we have to wait till summer.
Btw, that deal would be Klutch (pun intended) since dude is a young defensive ace. I would love for Rich to have another klient force his way to us. And we know Pop loves Kuz and Green as well. But unfortunately, we can't do it this year. |

Prefer a young wing defender in return
Winslow I like- pjiddy recommended |
Miami doesn't need Kuzma.
Any trade proposal involving Kuzma must be made with a reasoning as to why the proposed trade partner has a need for him.
Sacramento (for Bogdanovic) and Miami (for Winslow) don't need Kuzma they have other guys at his position who are balling out (Bjelica and Duncan Robinson.
Try again. |
Tell us how other 29 teams feel ok joe?
U r so sure Memphis will take cook lol
U have no clue what other gm’s wasn’t so let’s not pretend u know everything |
Whatever team trades for Kuzma has to have a place in the rotation for him to occupy and hopefully prosper in.
If you'd stop being insecure, you'd see I'm only pointing out that both Miami and Sacramento have zero need for Kuzma because they both have guys (Bjelica and Robinson) that are playing great, great ball.
Do you have an issue with logic and reason?
And feel free to quote where I was "so sure" Memphis would take Quinn Cook. They have zero need for him. If they trade Jackson for him, it'll be because they want to save a few million dollars, not because Joe Pesci is "so sure" they'll take him (when they clearly have no need for him).
You're a smart guy, but Miami has no need Kuzma. No need to get upset with the truth. _________________ A creative scorer, a wing defender, and a shooter. |

Spurs playing their 4th consecutive OT game.
Rubio as usual bricking everything since it’s not the Lakers.
Edit: wish Jones did us a favor and gave us Ariza. We could have then flipped him for Oubre. |

Marc Stein: Amar’e Stoudemire has returned to the States from a brief stint in China and is working out in South Florida in hopes of playing his way onto an NBA roster at 37, league sources say – via Twitter TheSteinLine
Marc Stein: Stoudemire recently had a 33-point, 17-rebound outing in China but returned in part, sources say, because of the great distance away from his family, which remained in the States while he was playing for the Fujian Sturgeons – via Twitter TheSteinLine
Bruh is old AF, but AD backup?
Kuz then moves for more minutes at the 3 to be Bron’s primary backup? |

Yeah I think Kuz and Daniels are probably the only two tradeable guys on the roster. Chemistry is too good to part with Boogie/Cook/Dudley, and everyone else either has a NTC or means too much to what we do to trade.
I also think Daniels is probably the one to get the axe if we pick up someone on the buy out market. Which is kind of a shame because I actually like him. Probably not playable in the playoffs anyhow though. |

Presently there are no minutes for him, especially with his lack of a reputation on defense. We already have a matador playing backup minutes at the 4. |

Luka is either trying to be Paul Pierce on the drama tip or he's gonna be out for a couple of weeks at least. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."
