”Game-Changer Alert: Los Angeles Lakers Stun Fan With Unforeseen Move!!!
The Lakers could bring back former champion Kyle Kuzma to be their third star if they make this trade with the Wizards.The Los Angeles Lakers have been scouring the market all season long to identify the right players to add to their roster. The Lakers are in a good position to make a trade, with an available future pick and a lot of mid-range tradeable contracts on young players. But their next trade could be the last major one in the LeBron James era, so they’ll be careful about picking who they’ll target.
The Lakers have seen many great players slip through the fingers and become contributors around the NBA, but the biggest loss has to have been Kyle Kuzma. After playing an integral role in the 2020 Lakers title win, Kuzma was scapegoated for the failed 2020-21 season and traded to the Washington Wizards for Russell Westbrook. He’s balled out in Washington since, but the team has been among the worst in the NBA.
With the Wizards reportedly listening to offers for Kuzma, the Lakers have to bring back a player they know fits well next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Kyle Kuzma
The Lakers made the Westbrook trade without giving up a first to Washington, but they’ll have to part with one if they want Kuzma’s two-way play and hustle back on their roster.
