NBA 2019-20 thread.

What do you mean "going to end up"?

 

Fine. Going to stay. Which means this deal makes even less sense.

 

A guy like John Henson fascinates me
14th pick in 2012
Played for Milwaukee and Cleveland, now Detroit
A solid reserve on forgettable teams in Midwestern towns
Now he’s approaching free agency, and another part of his career — he isn’t a player anymore, he’s a tradeable contract
The guy he was traded with, Brandon Knight, was drafted by the Pistons and has been a moveable contract for a while
It’s a good living but not the glamorous life we think it is

 

Lakers would be fucking mad to move Kuzma. Never move a basket maker.

4 years/48 million

that can buy a lot of glamour

 

Except that he's not very good.

 

He's 24 and the Dubs believe in him.

We'll see. Klay had his first All-Star year at 24. Steph didn't have his first All-Star year...until 25.

 

Those are two awful comparisons. Bill Walton made his first all-star team at 25 too - might as well have thrown him in there too, since his game and development curve is as comparable to Wiggins as Thompson and Curry.

 

All that is true... but he's in his sixth season and statistically is well below average, despite being on a max deal.

Maybe the Warriors are right and everyone else in the league is wrong. They've got a good track record.

 

Wiggins is a volume scorer who can't shoot. And he doesn't do ANYTHING ELSE well. He's a taller Tyreke Evans.

 

Bill Walton does not play for the team that just traded for Wiggins.

We'll see. Wiggins is a unique personality. Maybe he fits in the Bay under Kerr. I could see it.

 

Me too.

He could turn out to be next year's version of this year's Dwight Howard.
