I’ve often rallied against Kuzma, but only really out of Laker hatred. I think he’d fit our bench really well. Also, this: https://twitter.com/kylekuzma/status/1538273252254130176

Everyone looks better in green! He also put up a very solid season in Washington. Developed some solid passing game.

Yeah, he's not my #1 target for sure. Just thought him tweeting that 2 hours ago was funny

He's at the US open, not sure why but that might be the only reason....

I'd be fine with Kuzma or KCP. There'll be quite a few options with the Fournier TPE, excited to see how they use it.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I am not the biggest fan, but he probably would have helped add to our poor bench scoring in game 6.  We REALLY need scoring punch off the bench.

Hard pass on Kuzma. Last thing we need is yet another high-usage, score-first (s)wing. We already got the Jays for that. Unlike the Jays, Kuz is a below average defender.

If anything, I believe we need a low-usage, pass-first swing who's an above average defender. That's the exact opposite of Kuzma. First name that comes to mind is Kyle Anderson.

I think Kuzma would be a good addition to the team. He’s got size and length and played well in Washington this year once he escaped Lebron.

I’m not really sure why so many people dislike him. Is it because he played for the Lakers?

How do Kuzma and G Williams fit? Aren't they fighting for the same minutes? Both PF/SF.

If the Celtics are bringing back Horford, I'm guessing his minutes are going to drop dramatically. They need to add another PF. Kuzma's a good fit for the guy to come in behind Horford, who is kind of a token starter, and play 28-30 mpg.

Kuzma put up 17-8 for a bad Washington team last year. He's never averaged fewer than 12.3 ppg in the NBA. He's only 27. He was a rotation player for a champion in the bubble, so that's helpful.

And my understanding is he's turned into a really good defender.
