KAT could probably fit all those people into a compact sedan.

kat's legacy likely to be that he's the most unremarkable and least interesting of the crop of contemporary hoops unicorns. that and maybe the most cringe public persona of his day

to be fair, he didn't say which game he was gonna change

something mustve happened with kuminga, the org has to be over him completely to give up on him like this. he was a big part of the back half of the season and then made one mistake in an early playoff game and was yanked indefinitely. maybe he said some magic words. dude is crazy talented.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 22:26 (ten months ago) link
yeah kerr said something that inferred he wasnt happy with him

warriors whole org and vets probably has little patience for a malcontent rook but its probably something they should work on
― micah, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 22:48 (ten months ago) link
it makes a ton of sense for them to reset the clock on a rookie scale contract and get rid of him before an extension is even a discussion, but the rest of the league is well aware of this
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 June 2023 00:41 (ten months ago) link
yeah its hard to get anything for a guy youre giving up on
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 June 2023 00:57 (ten months ago) link
i think kuminga is a player. the warriors are as specific a situation as any in the league i’d like to see him get to a place where he can just play a bit more freely.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 June 2023 01:32 (ten months ago) link
i would have thought his bird rights etc would be valuable to the warriors with the new cap and all
― micah, Thursday, 15 June 2023 03:30 (ten months ago) link
i guess new cba makes it tough to spend above the second apron even if it's on guys you have bird rights for
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 04:02 (ten months ago) link
If they give up on him then that’s two highly valuable assets they completely flubbed away and should’ve traded to bring in depth. At this point they’re better off just continuing to develop him he does a lot of things they need and at a good price. Tough spot
― Spottie, Thursday, 15 June 2023 05:43 (ten months ago) link
well it seems like they’re seeking a highly valuable asset in return which makes no sense but based on that report it’s not like they’re just raffling him off
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 June 2023 05:53 (ten months ago) link
Kat is a strange strange person

kat’s agent or best friend or life coach desperately needs to intervene and tell him to stop expressing his hoop opinions in public

aaron rodgers being the ultimate example
i am being 100% serious when i say the wolves should use this as grounds to trade him
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 16:41 (ten months ago) link
they should trade him
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 June 2023 17:35 (ten months ago) link
gobert has no trade value, ant is untouchable, kat is redundant and still has some value, honestly if i were minny i'd be asking about the simons+#3 package from portland for kat as the foundation.
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 17:45 (ten months ago) link
maybe then dame would finally demand a trade

watched some of the espn talking head shows and windhorst was talking about pels wanting to move up (presumably to get scoot) and how that meant zion was maybe up for grabs?? wild.
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:16 (ten months ago) link
is scoot really going lower than 2
― ciderpress, Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:20 (ten months ago) link
this is not an original point but the act of being willing to trade zion lowers his trade value quite a bit.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:24 (ten months ago) link
i cant understand the logic of drafting miller over scoot at all but this is the hornets we're talking about here
a less-valued zion is still probably enough to get #2 or #3 tho right?
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:38 (ten months ago) link
looking at the beal situation and its strange, i kind of file him in the t-mac category of guys who are ridiculously good scorers with really short playoff resumes. maybe he's a perfect fit in miami! or maybe he's not that impactful in playoff situations and now you're on the hook paying him $57M when he's 33 or whatever.
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:49 (ten months ago) link
wing over guard + they already have a star PG... if their evaluation is wrong & scoot is the next dame it will be a bad move but i don't think it's illogical, exactly. in reality i think the issue is that taking miller is almost too logical, for them. they're being blinded by the logic
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 June 2023 18:55 (ten months ago) link
in theory beal is pretty much the perfect third player on a contending team... but of course that is just theory
― J0rdan S., Thursday, June 15, 2023 1:55 PM (five minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
i get the positional fit issue, but the comparing miller's ceiling to scoot's makes this seem very easy. just pick scoot and figure out how to make two ball-handlers work. miller seems fine as a player, but i dont see him being a #1 scorer (save this post for owning me later ofc).
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:03 (ten months ago) link
seen some skepticism of scoot as a tru bucket getter out there

cant have your third option being paid 55M plus is the main issue of course.

― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:26 (ten months ago) link
his jumper could use work but he's not amen thompson, like he shoots 75% from ft and 32% from 3, those are not irredeemable and hes athletic af
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:28 (ten months ago) link
yeah i mean its not hard to see why most people have him at 2
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:30 (ten months ago) link
also it would be cool to have a major nba star named scoot
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:32 (ten months ago) link
my hangup on miller is outside of shooting, what other skills can he develop that could be elite at the nba level? he doesnt seem poised to be a three-level scorer unless he gets much stronger and can muscle his way into quality shots. he doesnt have the athleticism to guard up and down the lineup or the strength to guard bigs, so i think he'll be exploitable on defense. i guess i see him like MPJ which is still really good but scoot's god the goods to be a perennial all-star.

well, you can... the heat might. but obv you're making a big bet that he's good enough to make up for how many minimum guys you have to roster. maybe the heat are more equipped than most to balance a roster like that
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:48 (ten months ago) link
if what everyone is saying about scoot being maniacal about working, winning, franchise leader type personality etc i'd weigh that pretty heavily
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 June 2023 19:50 (ten months ago) link
given the position he plays & the situation at hand w/ the rest of the draft
other things being equal one might prefer the guy who hasn't been, however tangentially, involved in a shooting
