I don't really think Kuminga is anything special. He occasionally makes a nice play or has a good game, and he's been a bit better lately. But I just don't see "it" from him; I don't think he is destined to be anything special.

His best case to me is Andrew Wiggins lol
Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)
Yep, sounds about right. But if the Warriors were smart, they'd trade him while he still has that tremendous upside potential, as Jay Bilas likes to say. Cash out on him before he flat-lines and a team thinks he could become great. Teams will always be enamored with the possibility of tapping into the potential...or he could blow up in a new environment after being underutilized in GS.

Wiggins was touted as being one of the best 2-way players in the league. He did have his moments, but man does Steph make his team look good.

He was good the year they won a championship. Other than that, nope.

Bulls fans boo a mention of former GM Jerry Krause during a halftime ceremony, bringing his widowed wife (who was there to accept an award in his honor) to tears. Oof.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)
Dang... that's savage. Poor lady.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)
The fuck?! Jerry Krause did great work for the Bulls. Where is the hate coming from?
Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)
Didn’t they make him look bad in The Last Dance? I don’t think Jordan liked him, so therefore Bulls fans don’t like him.

Krause was always hated by the Bulls fans. He always lowballed Bulls players (Pippen most famously), made the decision to fire Phil Jackson (and to anounce this before the season was over) and their fan base think they could've kept the team for at least one more season.

Just when you thought the Detroit Pistons' season couldn't get any worse, along came Friday night. They suffered a complete collapse down the stretch in the fourth quarter en route to a 112-110 defeat to the Houston Rockets that ran their new losing streak to seven games and extended a dismal 1-35 stretch.
Along the way, they delivered one of the most embarrassing plays of the season, which encapsulated their ineptitude. A level of ineptitude that has characterized their 2023-24 campaign from the start.

He wore out most of his good will in Chicago. He talked a lot of trash about how he was the one who was responsible for the Bulls' 6 titles, how "players don't win championships," bunch of stuff like that. Then he accelerated the breakup of the team, the departure of Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen, and oversaw their disastrous rebuild afterward where they were one of the league's worst teams for many years.

Jazz have had a real hot streak, you're right. They're actually right behind us in the standings; we are 20-18 and they are 20-20. Pretty pathetic if you think about how many assets we gave up to assemble this "super team" while they have been actively trading away players to get draft picks and assets for the future, while maintaining a team that's essentially just as competitive as ours.bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 6:55 am
