Agreed.
The only player that I could find where a Kuzma swap (
salaries similar) "makes sense" is Monté Morris.
Morris still has a lot to prove (
he balled out last year, his 2nd in the league, but primarily off the bench: he did have a poor playoff showing...), but I like his game in Denver (
he's in 2nd place on the team for guards in terms of FG% unassisted last year). Honestly, Denver would probably rather keep him, but they are completely stacked at guard (
or is their system and Joker inflating the guard's production??) and when his contract is up after next year, I doubt they will keep him. Unless... they can move from Gary Harris? Not sure if Kuzma helps them too much
(I'm not big on Kuzma), but he could be a good bench scorer for the Nuggets. There may be better options for Denver than Kuzma should they explore trades with Morris.
