Former Lakers 90M champ could be traded to one of LA's rivals

One Lakers 2020 NBA champion, wasn't beloved by the fans, but once he stepped out of Los Angeles and played for the Washington Wizards, showing growth and his talent the Lakers Nation now wants him back. Kuzma signed a 4 year 90 million contract this offseason with the Wizards.

Kyle Kuzma who repeatedly shows his love for the purple and gold franchise and hasn't hidden the fact that he would like to be back in LA someday to play with the Lakers is set to be traded by his current team, the Washington Wizards.

But the Lakers aren't looking to bring back Kyle Kuzma and in fact, he could be arriving to one of their West rival teams as the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors are reported teams that are interested in making a trade for the 2020 NBA champion.

“Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has drawn exploratory trade interest from several teams around the league, league sources told HoopsHype, and that interest could intensify with teams missing out on Pascal Siakam,” Scotto wrote.

Washington would be seeking multiple first-round picks for Kuzma

“Following reports that Washington wants two first-round picks to potentially part with Kuzma, there is further clarity and caveats to that. The Wizards would need future first-round picks beyond the 2024 draft with the potential to become lottery picks to consider parting with their best player, league sources told HoopsHype.” wrote Scotto.
