??? Kings please don't KANGGZ this one. Please don't trade them the much better player in Bogdan for an mediocre no defense playing forward who's in love with mid range shots.
How long is Vlade going to be allowed to destroy the Kings. He passed on Doncic to get a no defense forward. He has fallen into De'Aaron Fox and I am sure that he will trade him or destroy his development. Fox needs to be surrounded by shooters to operate, so I am sure the Kings will deal his shooters away. Buddy Hield wants out. Dedmond is begging to go elsewhere. Maybe they will deal Richaun Holmes to the Rockets for a pile of crap. The Kings make trades and sign guys with no particular plan or vision. They do it just because they can.
kuzma for bogdan + additional assets is pretty much the same as saying we can trade ben mclemore for og anunoby + more. wtf...
The Kings would have to include a very good player to trade for a very mediocre player? This is so confusing.
Kuzma isn't even a good fit in Sacramento next to Bagley, unless they plan to play him at the 3 (which isn't even his role), afterall, it's not like they have already a player in that spot...oh wait, they just overpaid Barnes
Bogdan is really good. Not only an elite shooter, he can put the ball on the floor too and has a great court vision. Clutch as well. He doesn't have Kuzma's size, but Bogdan is the superior player. If Kings were to trade Bogdan for Kuzma straight up that's a huge win for the Lakers.
I think Bogdan is an RFA soon and will probably demand a boatload of money that the Kings won't have / won't be willing to pay. Meanwhile, Kuzma is a similar situation, but has an extra year. Maybe the Kings are trying to get something while they still can, instead of being unable to match another team's offer for Bog and thus letting him walk?
these are the kinds of purported trades that silver pushes thru behind the scenes. for bball reasons of course
This is one of those deals that would likely be good for both teams. We don't know where Kuzma's upside is yet. I suspect it's much higher than some are giving him credit for...always felt this way. The injury, and the team he plays on mask it at the moment.
i like fox. I would trade wb for fox. Just as fast but a way better shooter and defender. Watched him since high school when he played down here pretty damn good player.
