They did call it a rumor for now though at the end of the article. But it makes sense since they were 24th in 3 point shooting last season.

What’s in it for the Kings? Buddy is better than both those guys, no?

Buddy has wanted out of there for awhile. But I think they can get something better.

I was hoping we would flip THJ for Hield last season, and somehow get Bagley in the process. Doubt THJ would be interested in a SnT to Sacramento now though.

Has to be salary relief right? I think people still feel Kuzma still has a high ceiling....its worth noting that all those guys who left LA like Hart, Ball, Ingram, Randle.....all have been better since leaving that city...maybe the same for Kuzma?

Yup, and glad it won't be exploited since it's a dangerous play for both parties. Imagine if Giannis, in that split second, decided to try and stop on a dime, aggravating his injury or worse. CP3 would have a championship *throw-up*
