Clippers must avoid $42 million trade dilemma
Kyle Kuzma, Milwaukee Bucks | Patrick McDermott/GettyImagesThe LA Clippers are not in a hole as deep as $42 million over two seasons, and they should stay away from dipping their feet into one by avoiding Kyle Kuzma at the trade deadline. He is set to earn this figure combining this season and next, yet every team he has been on has traded him, with the reasoning consistently the same: a brutally apparent conflict in play and value.
Without magnification, Kuzma has done well for Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks. He started for 14 games, and played his other 14 off the bench, looking like one of the best sixth men in the NBA.
