You do know that Kuz's rookie year is comparable to PG's third year, right?
In fact, Kuz's rookie year that compares well to with the second or even third year of PG, Jimmy Butler, Giannis, and Kawhi.
Both BI and Kuz compare favorably to each of those guys at similar stages in their careers.
Kawhi's coming back from an odd injury situation.
PG isn't exactly an alpha dog. He's definitely a great player but it's perfectly reasonable le to bet that at least one of, if not both, BI and Kuz will be a reasonable approximation of PG It's cute and all to say you never understood why lakers fans were hated until you saw it said that we're better off without getting LBJ, PG and Kawhi.....as long as you're pretending this is being said in a vacuum and without context.
Yes, gutting assets for a guy who could leave in a year is a gamble. It's less of a gamble to rock with our young wings, who are reasonable bets to improve to a reasonable degree in a year that was actually pretty solid for both.
I mean, sure it's fun to pretend that lakers fans actually think we'll be a better team *this* year by standing pat without them, and aren't actually looking ahead to the ling term health of the franchise while projecting their forward a couple years.
The notion that it's hateable to advocate for, you know, patience, ith an eye toward a long view, instead of looking for instant gratificaton.
