Hawks looking to move John Collins? This again?

He's also surprisingly 2 years older than JC.  When John's contract is up he'll be under 30.  If you re'up Kuz you'll be paying him big bucks when he's on the other side of 30. 

Damn. JC look a lot older..

Nope!

1. We lose too much on defense

2. He will be an UFA next season meaning he can walk for nothing

3. He has a 26 usage with the Wiz, I don't see that happening here thereby reducing his ppg. On the flip side he would fit right in with this squad shooting 30% from 3. 

4. It would piss @kg01 off. He hates him like poison .

Is that a reason to do the deal or not to do the deal?  Asking for a friend.

Not at all. I personally like Kuz shooting when he’s hot and he’d fit well on offense to me. On D, he stinks. Again, not a numbers guy but he plays some loosey goosy type D.

If this were the deal...

 

I would have to think very hard about it.

Kuzma is such a bad trade. What happens when he opts out of his contract at the end of the season and asks for more money than JC is getting now?

Isn't Delon hurt?  And how does he get into a guard rotation that already has Trae/DJ/Bogi/AJ?

I think the only reason you would do a Kuzma deal is (1) you are confident you can't get anything better and (2) you are basically looking to unload JC's contract without ruining this season.  I've never been much of a Kuzma fan so the earlier rumors of picks and Lauri for JC would be much more attractive than this (if that was a real thing).

It's another "rental deal", but I saw this on with two 2RPs also coming our way on Twitter. I would like this better than Kuzma.

It would be hilarious to see the confusion with two Bogi's on the floor.

It's not a rental because Bogdan signed like a 4 year extension with Detroit i think.  Not sure we want that.

I see that now. It's a 2 yr extension at ~$20m/yr.

Sometimes I wonder... Does the JC trade rumors come about because Trae wants JC gone?

If we turned down Lauri and 2 1sts for JC...............................................................................................................

2 year entension.

Wizards have lost 6 of 7. Wonder what their strategy is going forward for the rest of the season? Especially if they’re taking calls on Kuz. You know who’s really playing well for them? Porzingis. 

[NBASupes]

I really love the idea of Murray/JC for KAT. None of these other trades move me. None of these guys are good fits. Kuz needs a lot of touches and we don't have that. Bogey plays terrible defense and that doesn't make us better and he gets a lot of touches With DET, he wouldn't get that in Atlanta.

He needs touches.

There’s going to be very little that we can do to improve this team via trade when our superstar is playing like this -
