Then again we ARE the Knicks.

Now that you put it that way... the only question is is Kuzma overpaid? Because if he is then that's a total Knick maneuver , over the last 20 years anyway

I've had this argument with people about Kuzma before. His biggest attribute is scoring, but his shooting percentages have gone down ever since his surprising rookie season. I bought the fact that maybe his down shooting season might be becuz he doesn't fit with Rondo, but take a deeper dive and that might be a stretch. If you're playing off-ball with LeBron and AD with limited touches, then you should be shooting better, not worse.

unless of course you're super young and intimidated because you don't want to let LBJ and AD down

For their careers:
Kuzma has a 13.7 PER
Morris has a 13.5 PER

know Morris is our best player but he is overachieving IMO and I wouldn't expect him to string 3, 4, 5 seasons like this together

Nope!
he's very talented but ALWAYs NBA durability issue, stressed.

I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole, Its NOT like he's capable of being a "diff" maker OR Khawi type or even
2nd fiddle.

NYK dont have history of Luck .. from Amare' to then KP
& so on and so forth, We dont need the Kyle Kuzma headaches of dressing in suits cause he's missing games
NO no nope nope

Missed 17 games in first 2 seasons. We paid nothing for Morris.
