And the fact that he is taller than THJ, he can defend better and doesn't have to contribute to the undersized lineups THJ has to pla into.
Kuzma takes same number of 3s as Timmy, but significantly worse percentage - Kuzma can score in variety of ways better than THJ. And he is doing it as the main option in offense, which of course gathers more defensive attention. You want 3s, yes go for THJ, you want charges, go for THJ, everything else -- Nah I'd take Kuz.
Kuzma as a playmaker - Kuzma can dish out when he needs to while being the top dude on his team. On the Mavs Kuzma doesn't need to play-make, but the ability is a welcome one rather than none at all. Someone who can pass at the 4 spot is not taking away from someone who can pass from the 2 or 3 spot. THJ would most likely overlap with Exum, who btw is a superior player. Sure take THJ and hope he plays the 4. Kuz can play with the 3 of Luka-Ky and Exum.
Agree to disagree. I would not want to pay him 90 mil over the next 4 years regardless of asset price.
