Out of all the young players the Lakers have traded, Kuzma wasn’t the worse, but he certainly wasn’t the best.
Part of the problem is playing with LeBron and Anthony Davis doesn’t leave a lot of shots for someone who is considered a scorer.
He also has seemed to fallen out of favor with the coaching staff who don’t really know what his role is with the team and how best he can fit in.
It makes sense they would try to move him per NBA Analysis Network.
“The Lakers have grown frustrated with (Kyle) Kuzma’s inconsistency and are going to look at trading him this offseason. Rob Pelinka won’t move him for cheap, but if he can be packaged to add better talent around LeBron and AD, they will do that. Kuzma will be on the trade block this offseason and quite a few teams are expected to show interest.”
It might be best for Kuzma who just signed a contract extension to move on.
It has been rumored the Lakers are looking for more consistent shooters or a traditional point guard who doesn’t need a lot of shots. Kyle Lowry name has come up a lot.
