These are the words of Colin Cowherd.
There have been reports that Kuzma doesn’t like playing in the shadow of LeBron James. It is a common complaint from young players that have played with LeBron. It is a gift and curse because Kuzma is far more famous and has a ring because of his association with LeBron. He got a very nice contract extension in part because he plays with LeBron. It wouldn’t be shocking to know the reason he has his girlfriend Winnie Harlow is because he has been around the same circles as LeBron.. Would Ms. Harlow have answeredof his DMs if he didn’t play for the Lakers?
None of this probably happens if he played in Minnesota.
With that being said a lot of the baby Lakers when they have moved on their actual games have improved and they have become better basketball players.
Here is what Cowherd had to say.
“The Lakers think they have a shot at him [Lillard],” the analyst explained on The Colin Cowherd Podcast. “That’s sort of Los Angeles delusion. The Los Angeles Lakers have players, KCP is a solid player, hot and cold, not what Portland wants. Kyle Kuzma- LeBron doesn’t get along with him. They’d love to move him, he’s kind of expensive. It’s not the kind of contract you can’t move, but it’s not necessarily team-friendly considering he disappears in big spots for the Lakers.”
There are reports that the Lakers are trying to move him.
