Kuzma for Bogi Rumor....sigh
- Thread starter The_Jamal
- Start date
If we are going to trade with Philly I'm sending Bjelica/Bogie for Richardson/Scott (don't think you can get that rookie), Philly gets a massive shooting upgrade and we get J Rich on a good contract and a beast defender (most certainly a better all around player than Buddy). J Rich and Generational Fox on D together would be insane.
Why can’t Thybulle come up big? Unless you think you can only come up big on a last minute possession going 1-on-1 ( I hope that’s not what you mean).
It’s called a championship window for a reason. Phillys championship window is not just this year. Their impact on the floor is comparable today, and one will be making $15 mil less per year for the next 3 years.
When did long wings that can defend multiple positions at a high level while spacing the floor become redundant? Has there ever been a team in the NBA who said “man I really wish we didn’t have all of these athletic, 7’0” wingspan wings who are great defenders and shooters.” Maybe you have heard something like that. I have yet to hear that. Having multiple of those guys on their team is not redundant. It’s an advantage.
They’re not trading Bogdan for Thybulle. Go pose this question on a Philly forum and let me know how that goes...

I don’t see it for Philly.
Richardson is better than Bogdan. Scott is a stretch 4 as well, but with Embiid, Horford, Simmons, & Harris, where will Bjelica’s minutes come from? They may play him more in the regular season but those 4 guys should be logging all or most of the minutes at PF/C when it’s playoff time.
Then you have the payroll argument again. This trade increases their payroll since Bogdans contract will likely be more than Richardson’s after FA.
Philly should be looking to move one or more of Embiid, Simmons, Harris, and/or Horford.

Management wise I agree but you're assuming he doesn't have a say in his own future. This is unfortunately a time in the NBA where players, even when restricted, can force their way out with relative ease. Monetarily I think Vivek would cough up and not think twice since that true pinch wouldn't be felt for another year anyway.
I wonder if the Bulls would do a Tomas Satoransky trade (free up time for White)for Bogi, he has not really helped the Bulls much as a starting PG, but the guy can play the 1-3 comfortably, high IQ solid defender he's on a great deal. Chicago has a big Serb population so maybe they might want Bogi also gives more playing time to younger players.
I would love Thad Young as well but the problem is we have a lot of PF's,.......

I managed to sit through the Lakers last two games and Kuzma looks really solid I don't see why we would not do this trade, factor in Kuzma was better the last two seasons to Bogi as well and on a better contract/value.......He scored in every possible way/running pick and rolls he's a better ball handler than every player not named Fox as well.
Also if he's traded he needs to get that bleach out of his hair no grown man should be dying their hair blonde.

Kuzma last 2 seasons was giving Harrison Barnes production (slightly better) at 1/12th of the cost, I think this is such a no brain trade to make for the Kings in particular now that they have choose Buddy over Bogi essentially. Kuzma of last year (which he's looked last 4-5 games) is probably the 2nd best player after Fox.
Despite his poor play this year he's basically giving you what Barnes is giving you while playing 11 less minutes so far who people on here feel was not overpaid and got 20mil per season. It boggles my mind that the Kings are the ones that are turning this trade down than again....last years draft.

I would do the trade if and I say if we make a few other moves. We need solid pieces and we finally have some players that others actually want.
I am not at the point of wholesale change but why not take advantage of opportunity when it knocks. If we could move Dedmon to get out of his contract we may get a few players in return that may not move the needle but at least his money may be spread out.
Beli most likely would not start for most teams but a few teams looking to change some things up for the playoffs could use him.
Hopefully Dedmon plays well for the next couple of weeks so someone may want him.
