I am so glad we did not trade for Kuminga. Sometimes--much more often that we can imagine--the best trades are the ones you don't make.
It was, and one of the 1sts from Googs turn into Gordon Hayward.
temp recovery maybe. the highlight of his mavericks career was the first half of his first game. since then he's basically been on the bench.
It only cost them a generational talent.
This doesn't sound like a guy that asked to be cut:
This has Harden and Kawai's hands all over it. Not everyone can handle CP3's leadership style, especially someone like Kawai Leonard.
KaWhine Leanord?
Majerle was cooked by then but idk why they included a first rounder in that trade. They included two 1st’s in the Googs trade. Then the selling of picks in 04-07’ and the Kurt Thomas trade. A lot of wasted assets by this organization.
Exactly.
Same
I wouldn't read much into it. Every time they say he is on the verge of asking to be traded he recommits to the team. It might happen but I will believe it when I see it. Even if it does happen he is going to come at such a high price the team he goes to will be gutted unless it's some complicated multi-team trade.
Maybe teams have learned from the Suns trading for Durant. Giving away the farm for a superstar might not be wise anymore.
Bron-stans are the worst.
It seems age catches up with players suddenly. They can stretch it out and make it work longer, like with LeBron. But when it breaks, it breaks. Sometimes it is an injury they just cant fully recover from, like Kobe with the achilles, or its just the speed drops off suddenly. I think the work that it takes to keep their bodies working just becomes overwhelming.
