you must've read over my previous post about this
its ok
i said that I'm now intrigued about the possibility of Kuzma and BI. I think they legit might need a change of scenery.
Admittedly, my initial reaction was knee jerk b/c i wasn't being objective about it all. I think its unfortunate Ball or rather his representation doesnt desire to be in NOLA as i think defensively, Ball and Jrue would make a formidable backcourt. I think as long as he continues to facilitate on the offensive end, he will eventually find his shooting stroke. You dont just forget how to shoot when you get to the league. I'm sure he'll settle in and find a nice compromise for something that works for him.
However, i am also intrigued by a backcourt of Smart and Jrue as well defensively, and you get a bump in the offensive production from Smart. As someone mentioned, I think it was either Tommy or AZ, but as soon as you get BI, he might be eligible for a big contract coming off his rookie deal so that's a factor as well.
