BI made a leap in the second half of 18-19 but prior to that Kuz was a better player. I think the trade talks fukked with Kuz mentally. Obvious BI separated himself last season but I still think Kuz has the chance to be a similar player.

BI was always more talented he was 20-21 then..but Kuz was 23... with a more "NBA READY" body but now that ingram is 23 and getting his true nba rythm, he is setting himself completely appart..

I hope you're right but I just don't see it. Kuz has no go to moves. He doesn't have the physical advantages that Ingram has. BI is crazy long and that's able to help him overcome good defense. His handle is still shaky and he hasn't really shown the ability to go one on one and get a basket consistently.

I really hope they can keep him and Avery. If they can keep those two I think the main thing they need to sign is just a backup wing for Lebron and then resigning Dwight and possibly Cousins. Trade off McGee if they can.

If they lose those two how much cap room would they have? wouldn't it be like 15-17 million or am I mistaken? Also, I agree that resigning Dwight should be close to the top of the list. He is one of the reasons that they have a size advantage.

None. By the time you factor in cap holds, Deng's 5 million, Schroeder's salary they'll be right up against the cap. The only way they'd get the cap room is to renounce the bird rights on Bradley and KCP, and sell of Mcgee and even then it'd only give them 5-10 at most to work with. I see them resigning one of KCP or Bradley using bird rights and then using the mid-level to add someone else like Serge or Galinari.

Bi was asked to be a playmaker and was better defender. Kuz might have scored more but Bi was better player from the get go

KCP will be back on a raise. Wouldn’t have traded DG without having something else lined up.

Y’all sound confident. I know klutch has taken care of KCP recently, but this is his chance to get the bag. Don’t think he takes another 1 year deal, which is what they need to keep the 2021 cap space available.
