18. "yea this idea that Kuz and Lonzo aren't going to be diff. makers" In response to In response to 3
is crazy. Kuz in particular has grown tremendously this year and really risen to the occasion in playing well w/ Bron. These guys are super young and are still 5 years away from entering their prime years - and already are solid starters in this league.
But it wasn't just that they offered Zo and Kuz - but B.I., Hart, Zu (some reports even throwing Rondo in there) and multiple draft picks.
That's *exceptional* trade value for a player that publicly wants out.
What did the T'Wolves get for Butler? Not that much.
S.A. got DeRozan - who is a poor man's Kawhi in every sense (still a fine player).
Pels had the opportunity to grab multiple young guys - all with the potential to break out and become all-stars at some point.
I think time will show that this idea that Tatum is *so* much better than Kuz is premature and silly. Boston won't offer the assets that L.A. just offered up on a platter.
But alas - lot of ppl stay in that #HurtLocker in this game - and that jilted feeling can greatly affect state-of-mind and one's ability to make the smart, long-term business decision that is healthy for an organization. -->
