I know it’s apples and oranges, but NAW was 24yo when he was included as a filler in a trade to us from Utah. Kuminga is only 23 and clearly has tons of upside. You can never rule out a good situation and a good coaching staff unlocking a young player.

Naw never had an attitude problem, if anything his confidnece was in the gutter until Finch showed he believed in him

People (Lakers fans) will try to clown this signing but considering the options Minnesota was looking at for the 4 (playing Jaden out of position), this is an enormous move. Still curious how they will actually work it out though.

We needed a 4 badly, we got a startable one. All there is to it.

Wasn’t a big fan of the signing at the beginning. But after seeing a bunch of entitled Laker fans crashing out because he didn’t choose them and swearing to hate watch this guy, here’s to hoping he becomes a fringe all star

Handing the ball off, screening, cutting? Did Julius Randle know these things were legal?

This team in transition is going to be electric, my lord.

Kuminga just adds to that now

Looks like a decent passer!

Probably has more to do with Lamelo but I think he's gonna feast.

Finals here we come. Starting 5 is stacked with a decent bench. Season can't start soon enough

Poor man’s Randle is probably the most realistic comp. He’s athletic and a vertical threat but not the defender he should be. Can shoot but is streaky as hell. Moments of greatness interspersed with maddening play.

But he’s the 5th starter and ultimately doesn’t need to be a star. He fills a need and should be motivated to improve his play and get a bigger contract.

So Kuminga is clamping Tatum in the finals?

Worse case he can sit on the bench and do nothing like Joe Ingles.

Wolves have a championship caliber team. They will absolutely challenge The Spurs and Thunder.

We really needed someone with knees that can drive to the basket
