It would be dumb and vindictive to move Udoka right now. Unless we got a high second rounder I wouldn't do it.
I only want Kuzma if its all we can get for Mike and Mike doesn't want to come back. In this scenario we could trade Bojan but I'd want that return to be pretty good.
i'm at the point where as long as we don't dump any more second round draft picks to get his salary off the book i'm happy. no point of holding onto a guy who has zero chance of cracking the rotation, especially after watching the way Rudy got exposed in the playoffs. I want no continuity from that whatsoever.
Trading both now would probably get us something but probably not something that would improve this team in short terms. I don't want us to make trades that would cause the team to go backwards just for salary reasons as we've seen how that **** went down last year.
We can just decline his option next year if we don't want to keep him. If we didn't get a second I wouldn't move him. He's limited but different than Rudy. He's not had a chance to prove himself yet. I'd rather move Favs because it opens up so much money... take a chance the kid is a poor man's Capela or something.
Declining his option may be the most realistic outcome at this point. Just don't see a scenario in which he would get any meaningful minutes.
How do you move a 1st round pick who has never played? We’re essentially wasting money on favors for production we could get from Doke. And we are essentially wasting a first round pick that could’ve been used on McDaniels, Bey, or Bane because we signed Favors.
I wonder with the story about DL and Quin not talking for a couple of years if Quin was all on board the Tony Bradley, Jeff Green, Ed Davis and Favors train? There were other options out there.
Thats what people said about Hart, Ingram, Lonzo, etc.
If we got Kuzma for Favors and scraps, we could trade Bojan for value because Kuzma could replace a lot of what Bojan provides for over $4 million less a year.
Why would LA want to trade Kuzma for Favors?
Why would LA want favors? Don’t they already have Drummond, Gasol, Drez, and Davis?
I don’t think so. I think teams like Sacramento and Charlotte would have interest because they don’t have any centers currently under contract.
Google Wade Baldwin.
$4 million difference, #30, 1 year less, LeBron likes vets instead of projects.
Don’t we need to turn that 30 into a wing defender?
Wouldn’t we want want to keep doke then? He’s younger and cheaper than favors.
Cuz the way the rookie deal is scaled, Doke will earn more each year. His third and fourth year will worth well over 3mil. Hassan's one year deal with the Kings is only about 2.5mil by comparison, which is why DL paid to get Bradley's contract off the book.
How much is favors making per year?
that's why i said we overpaid for them both, not trying to argue who's overpaid more. i'd say they both should go.
