Ima be real. These aren't bad but you know teams are gonna throw money at them just to fukk us. Honestly at this point, I'd go for Middleton, Beverley and bums....I'd rather have a high level 3rd player and bums then straight up bums. I've always preached about depth but you cant really build depth with a bunch of bums.
Not sure Middleton at that price tag is that much better than Kuzma. He's gonna want 18-20m
Middleton = 18/6/4 44% shooting, no defense $20m
Kuzma = 19/5/2 46% shooting, no defense $2m

Kuzma's salary is exactly why they insisted on keeping him. Not many guys putting up 18-19 ppg at $2 million for the next two years.

He's a whipping boy to many on here but his production is a steal for his salary.

Everything about Kawhi signing with us makes perfect sense from basketball to business to family. Unless he just wants his own situation in Toronto (which is understandable) the team he wanted to end up on last year is in even better position to contend for years if he signs. AD could be his new Duncan post LeBron.

He just won a finals MVP on his own team. Why would he come to be Bron's sidekick and pad out Bron's legacy?

:hhh:

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
I'm still disgusted at how kuz was untouchable. I don't think the pels are dumb but it we truly picked kuz over ingram..man. not to be sexist but lavar was right. You cant have emotional people calling the shots.

He’s the worst fit with Lebron and ad out of any of hart lonzo and Ingram plus even whoever was available at 4

Kuz had dinner with Kobe and got down Jeanie and Linda. Enough said. The only reasonable reason he was kept is how cheap his contract is.

I got a better question, why would Kawhi, whose 7 years younger, be considered a sidekick to a much older LeBron that couldn’t even make the playoffs over the Clippers?

This trio will be nothing like the heats and Cavs. It’s a business partnership between three kings. Kawhi’s NB bag gets bigger, Kawhi can be with his family, play with AD post-LeBron + a new Max FA.
