Report: Golden State willing to part with Jonathan Kuminga or another young player for high draft pick

Barkley and the entire Inside the NBA production are great.
When Barkley is serious he knows ball better than any other tv analyst.

on this. They dont have nearly the picks to get Dame and Strus and Vincent are fine players but nobody is clamoring for them
take that to the kennel milkbrones
Good line here.
Wash could probably do a lot better for kuzma if he actually opted in but seems unlikely anyway.
That is like Manute Bol with AIDS.

Manute Bol was 3 inches taller and 10 pounds lighter. Sorry to ruin your joke
He’s not great anymore but there are multiple teams that could use him - Boston, NY, Philly for sure, Miami just for starters. He’ll shoot better on a team where he isn’t the primary option. Problem is he can decide where he goes so that will suppress the market.
seeing Manute Bol the first time was the first time i understood that we're just dancing skeletons
That said, if the only way he was going to sign that contract with them was the no-trade and they get a first round player plus somebody like Herro, it was a positive signing for them.

I've still been hearing this for months on the talk shows, even some this week. Here is the thing. The dude is NO LONGER OVERWEIGHT. He is just a huge freaking person. He is absolutely ripped, and has been since the preseason this past year. People, I think, are hanging on to the overweight narrative from his rehab stint 2 years ago and the pics that went viral. Even this last week with the fatherhood announcement dude, is 100% in shape. I can't confirm or deny what beverages he drinks, and he might not be in "basketball shape" since, ya know, he hasn't played
in a while, but he has dropped the extra LBs long ago. Now is there an argument for him to somehow drop muscle weight and just try to maintain a slimmer frame? I suppose so, but IDK if he can play the way he plays by doing that. Maybe he can. But being able to move like he does at his size has been his M.O. his whole career. Maybe his adult body just can't take it.
Trading him, I don't know that we could get another player that makes us an instant playoff contender like he does. That's the quandary.
). Players are getting off their vehicles and hanging out in the crowds, chugging beers, signing autographs. Obviously, the fans love the players, but the players seem to genuinely enjoy the fans.I'd rather the Wiz get Lowry and eat his contract for 2023-2024. Even if they have to eat Robinson's as well. Provided it nets them a pick or two. And just suck even worse for 1-2 years. I like Herro's game and the rumor is he'd be part of the trade. I'd just be skeptical post injury.
Chet Holmgren's career is off to a roaring start as well.
Chatter on sports talk radio saying Luka has slimmed/toned up a bit. Haven't seen any official reports.

It puts us in the position of having to take a gamble either way. Right now I guess the smart money says deal him just based on his cost and his history thus far, and let him be someone else's gamble/problem. With him, we are easily a playoff contender. Without him, that's a big question mark. But so is whether or not he will be on the court.
Didn't he hurt his foot?
Yep.
If you want to be unconcerned about a lisfranc injury to someone who is 7-1, 195 lbs, more power to you. I hope he has a long and awesome career.
dunno if he's normal people fat, or just NBA "fat", but i remember Dion Waiters getting knocked for being fat and just yesterday i saw he posted a pic of himself pre-Heat and after going through the Heat conditioning regimen.Chatter on sports talk radio saying Luka has slimmed/toned up a bit.

I don't think it's an injury to be not concerned about - I'm just not sure it had anything to do with him being thin - perhaps there is a knowledge gap on my part there though.
The resemblance on film is pretty good. Hopefully Wemby has better health.
This is my understanding as well. A lot of the notable lisfranc injuries I can remember happened to pretty heavy-set NFL players like Big Ben, Darren McFadden, MJD, etc. I really think that for injury purposes, it's better for these crazy tall guys to be on the skinny side so the repetitive force being put on their lower limbs isn't so enormous. Chet and Wemby will have to try and thread the needle between "light enough to reduce injury risk" and "heavy enough to play center."
It's an injury that can happen to anyone, for sure. But foot and knee injuries seem to pile up on people with this physical profile and it can't be good that the guy is starting his career coming off a serious foot injury given the amount of leverage a guy his size is putting on it playing basketball.
