He was a champion with the Lakers & wants to return, but another team could offer him 30M

The free agency market starts tomorrow, but already some teams have been preparing for it, and some movements have revealed at least some heavy rumors.

While the Lakers are thinking about what to do with Malik Beasley and Mo Bamba, they are also debating which players to sign in the free agency market to improve their chances of contending for the NBA championship title next year.

Bruce Brown and Kyle Kuzma have been rumored to be pursued by the Lakers, and Kuzma already has a past with the team as he was champion with the Lakers in 2020 and wants to be back.

But the Houston Rockets have been reported to be going all-in for the Washington Wizards star and will offer him the 30 million he wants annually. With this, Kuzma will no longer return to LA to play with the purple and gold. Also, Pelinka and Ham are more interested in signing the Nuggets Wing Bruce Brown Jr.

The Houston Rockets are interested in two Lakers free agents

The Lakers have made Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura restricted free agents, having the option to match any offer they receive. Still, the Houston Rockets are one of the main teams to be interested in both players.
