He was a champion with the Lakers in 2020, wanted to return, now leaves for 100M

The Los Angeles Laker's latest NBA championship title was special for many reasons, for starters, the world was living in weird times in the middle of the COVID pandemic in 2020, and that tournament was called the bubble for the special circumstances.

Still, the team was strong enough to get the 17th trophy for the purple and gold franchise, and one of the players that had a great time winning it and keeps remembering that special occasion is Kyle Kuzma.

But later was traded by GM Rob Pelinka who now regrets it and wanted the Wizards star back to the Lakers, and even when Kuzma loves LA and the Lakers team, he just signed with Washington a 100 million deal.

Still, Kyle keeps showing his love, appreciation, and loyalty to the 2020 version of the purple and gold as he recently said that the champion roster of that year is superior to all the NBA champions after that title.

The Lakers are going all in to win their 18th championship title the next season

After the team was able to make it to the WCF, Pelinka, and Ham kept the core and are building from that, but also are putting up the work with their players in the offseason and carefully planning to win the next championship title. Ham and Pelinka have built a deep roster with a hunger of winning and build from their previous mistakes and bring the best out of their stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
