Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[ThisIStheYear]

Complaints about Kuz's efficiency are there, but he is the number option on a bad team.
If THJ and Kuz would swap places, THJ could chuck his way to 20 a night, but would be one of the worst players in efficiency.

Kuz upgrades the 3rd option on the Mavs in offense, also upgrades from a non-performing GW at PF, and also upgrades the Mavs in both rebounding and size. Not seeing that is just hate.

Note: Most hate Kuz primarily because he is a Blake Griffin level douche. Which I don't disagree.
I rather have Deni, but Kuz isn't as bad as most think.

I don’t know if Kuzma is a douche. He mostly shows up and plays. He’s just inefficient.  It’s not the Wizards. He’s always inefficient, every year, every team, every role.  It’s who he is. Inefficient players destroy your team, especially when they think they’re good. He can be a serviceable 8th or 9h man as the price for getting Gafford, but otherwise, hard pass for me. I’d rather just keep THJ.
