NBA Trade Rumors: Lakers Would Want ‘High Rotation Player’ And First Round Draft Pick For Kyle Kuzma

With the 2019-20 NBA trade deadline fast approaching and the Los Angeles Lakers seemingly in need of another contributor to boost their chances at a championship, it only makes sense that rumors start circulating.

Of course, with the team’s lack of trade assets, those rumors have zeroed in on the one they do have: Kyle Kuzma.

Injuries and inconsistency have plagued Kuzma’s third season in the league. Though he is still third on the team in scoring, he’s averaging around seven points fewer than last season. Additionally, his change in role — with the addition of Anthony Davis — has made things difficult on him as well.
