Why are the Lakers looking to trade Kuzma? They want a DIFFERENT player to reduce?

[3ball]

everyone was thrilled that Kuzma was kept when the AD trade first happened.

he's a perfectly fine player - who could they bring in that is superior, or that will produce more?

this seems like a pointless, scared move to me -

Kuzma has already been reduced. Consumed. LeGod needs fresh souls.

what 18 ppg player won't get reduced to 12 like Kuzma?

it seems pointless to trade him - he's a skilled player, so they should work him into the scheme, not trade him

it's just more bluster to give the impression of a constantly improving team... but in reality, the teamwork can't improve - turning guys into spot-up shooters doesn't improve teamwork, so only the talent can be improved (replaced)

they fool no one and will get trounced in the playoffs.. can't decide if it will be the clips, Houston or someone else that will expose them

Because he sucks

He consistently gets lost on defense, he isn't a knockdown shooter and he's not great at getting others involved? Additionally, he needs the ball in his hands to be effective.

No doubt, he will go to some other team and should almost assuredly start putting up 20+ ppg regularly while also losing very regularly and people will have the audacity to claim he was being held back by "bran ball" like the empty minded cretins that they are because his scoring will jump, meanwhile they ignore the losing piece.

Such is the cycle of life on InsideHoops.

[Replay32]

Streaky/inconsistent scorer. Not a good ball handler or playmaker. Low IQ player who is a terrible defender.

But he can get hot and score, however that's all he looks to do and takes too many dumb/contested shots.

LeBron/Kuzma is the best Lakers 2-man lineup at +16.8

2nd is LeBron/Dwight at +13.6

LeBron is elevating Kuzma but he is being reduced by other players, namely Rondo and AD

The second he pushed our Qing into playing defense, you knew he wouldn't be a Laker for long.

Kuz was flourishing under LeBron last season, AD really reducing talent. It's sad to see

I'm surprised Bron has still been able to carry them to a 1st seed

If they score Bogs... you make that trade. Bogs will be reduced but he's a better player overall and has shown clutch ability.

I don't know who Bogs is, but I'm assuming he's good - why would anyone be willing to help the Lakers with such a trade?

Oh wait... the league is fixed.. it's rigged for Lebron since "the decision"... I forgot.. :facepalm

[k 96]

Because LeGM wants to trade him, he runs the Fakers now,

[tpols]

He consistently gets lost on defense,

I guarantee that Kuzma is looking at Ingram's soon-to-be HOF career, and is envious

He wishes he was traded instead of Ingram... And Ingram is like "I'm free to be great!"

[stalkerforlife]

Exactly.

It doesn't matter who they insert.

Bran will make them worse.

Kuzma is perfect as a sixth man for this team, so I really hope they trade him and shoot themselves in the foot.

I never looked at it that way, but you sound pretty spot on

Kings may not want to resign him and he will be restricted or somethin...

also the coach knows Kuzma's game. Walton.

He's in the same spot as rookie Lebron - he was handed a lottery cast (team that was lottery the prior year)

And Lebron missed the playoffs just like Ingram will

Lebron couldn't carry a lottery cast to the playoffs in 05' despite having the East all-star center - he needed to add a 20-point scorer and future COY to make it in 06'.. So Lebron has always needed a good team/high seed to make the playoffs.. Ingram and most players are no different

Get Ingram his Paul George!

exactly - Ingram will be normal like most players and only need 1 star to win

whereas Lebron needs 2, so he's the lesser player and entirely overrated... only Lebron needs 2 stars and a super-team to win... :yaohappy:

Rookie Lebron basically won the same as MJ despite having an all-star teammate, while MJ had no all-star teammates.. and a tougher conference

Lebron should've been winning 50 games right away since he had an all-star teammate, but he needed a 2nd good player and the COY to make playoffs in 06'... So Lebron is a joke and nowhere near MJ..

[Lakers Legend#32]

They will not trade Kuz just for spite.
