Kuzma doesn't. I am telling you Kuzma is an interesting buy low candidate. He will cost something (maybe even something plus) but he is hiding in plain site. The question does he want to go from the first option on terrible teams to the 3rd/4th option on a good team and everything that goes with the drop in importance (defense, hustle, etc). I could care less about his comments after the trade deadline. I don't expect it to happen, but his skill set does fit with our team.
Deni will be much harder to get than Kuz because he is a lot better player.
How does Kuz fit this team? He is an inefficient volume scorer, not a good 3 point shooter, and not a plus defender. None of that was any different when he played 3rd option behind Beal and KP or when he played on Lakers. He is who he is.
He would make some sense as a backup 4 providing offense when Luka or Kyrie were not on the court, but I would rather have somebody like Tobias Harris for that role.
I like most of your posts, but Kuz is a strange hill to die on.
