Solid replacement but this doesn't condemn the Russell trade if Russell becomes an all star, cause it's a 1 year deal for 18m


DLO will most likely be an all star in the east. we just gotta accept moving him was for the better of them moving forward. He wasnt the guy Magic/Luke wanted, he didn't seem to like Lonzo coming here, got rid of Mozgov contract. Now with the KCP signing I think thats some pretty good moves. Yeah its only a one year but we can resign him if it looks like the 2 max player thing aint working out

So... Kuzma looks like he deserves some burn and he fits pretty perfectly in our system.

But we have a gang of PFs:

Randle, Nance, Deng, Kuzma

I wonder if he can play SF. He guards well enough on the perimeter in SL. He's like a fusion of Nance and Randle in many ways. Rebounds, can handle, can pass, can shoot, won defensive awards in college...
Kuzma absolutely looks like he can play the 3.

The Truth
Zo looks good when everyone buys in. These guys in the SL are fighting for a job so they're doing whatever they're being asked to. I honestly fear Randle and Clarkson not buying in.

How many times have we seen Julius grab the board and waive DLO off and bring the ball up court?


I don't really fear Clarkson as much cause he's where he belongs(on the bench).


Brehs looking at our roster, Magic and Pelinka really did that. :wow:
If Randle is smart his ass should be already running to the goal by the time Lonzo gets the ball

He can get his assists by hockey passes or when Lonzo is out. I think the smartest thing for them to do at this moment is let Lonzo handle the ball in nearly every situation. If Caruso, Blue, and Kuzma can look this good by playing with Lonzo then Randle, Ingram, and Clarkson will look amazing just by cutting and running

What happened to Zubac:dahell:
Hell if I know. I was hyped as hell for him off his play last year and that was part of why I was pissed about the Russell trade. I wanted to see Zubac get as many minutes as possible. But after seeing the way he's looking in summer league and he's definitely not ready. Huge disappointment.

Yeah this team can really have a crazy running game. I love that Lonzo isn't afraid to let go of the ball and kick it up the court to anybody that's running instead of dominating the ball. Randle will have plenty of playmaking opportunities if he's hustling.
