Question for the Day 8-30....

[Diesel]

It's almost Sept....

IF it were possible for the Hawks to trade JJ for Kyle Kuzma (KK).

Does it improve the Hawks?  Are the hawks contenders?

[shakes]

but it's not possible.

I've never liked Kuzma so this wouldn't excite me even fully recognizing that JJ's floor is below Kuzma's.  If we were looking to do that, I'd say we should have just kept JC.

KK is a carbon copy of JC a bit. JC could shot a bit better.

Sure it is...  Travis is over there @ Washington.   He may be happy to fix such a deal.  But just for grins, let's say that those are the principles of the trade... what do you think?

No thanks.

That being the case, you should just have kept JC and JJ rather than dumping JC and trading JJ for KK.

Pass.

Besides KK makes $25 million, JJ $2.9 million - who are you adding to make up the salary difference?

Just saying... if all things were equal...  Let's forget the money for a minute. 

Does KK make us better than even JC would have?

No.  I don't think KK is materially more impactful than JC when JC isn't hampered by injury.  When healthy, I generally have preferred JC.
