Myles Turner for Kyle Kuzma looks like a good trade

[Lebron23]

The Lakers needs a young Center while Kuzma is the perfect starting forward for the young Pacers team.

[KennyPowers]

Icky poo poo.


Pacers need Myles' defense/rim protection while shooting 3's on offense so Sabonis can play down low.


C Sabonis
F Kuzma
F Warren


Would be terrible defense. Myles needs to stay at f/c next to mvp Sabonis unless something better than Kuzma is coming back.

Pacers could be in first place after today, not sure they need to make any trades.

[Xiao Yao You]

What else are the Lakers throwing in the deal?

[Lebron23]

What else are the Lakers throwing in the deal?

Quinn Cook

[Xiao Yao You]

Quinn Cook

yeah I bet the Pacers jump on that!

[Axe]

If they're willing to dispose kuzma that is

[light]

The Lakers needs a young Center while Kuzma is the perfect starting forward for the young Pacers team.

The Lakers don't need a young center.

And Turner is not as versatile as Kuzma. The Lakers use Kuzma everywhere from PF to SG. If they were going to replace Kuz it would need to be with another big wing because they can't afford to have only one of those in LeBron.

[highwhey]

pacers hang up the phone lol

turner plays amazing defense and he's 100mill cheaper than gobert.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Salaries dont match

Cook, Caruso, Kuzma dont match Turner's 18 million salary. You gotta have KCP or Schroder in there.

He's not as good as Gobert

[Proctor]

He's not as good as Gobert
Light years better offensively, slightly worse defensively if worse at all, and much cheaper.

Sounds like better to me. Would take 10 Kuzma's to get him

[Reggie43]

How is Kuzma the perfect starting forward for the Pacers? I dont get it?

[RRR3]

Kuzma is horrendous why on earth would the Pacers do that?

[highwhey]

He's not as good as Gobert

but he's so much cheaper. next year, rudy's salary will be double of myles salary.

with gobert's max, you're kind of stuck as far as getting other talent on the payroll. with turner, you have a really good defensive anchor while still having money to pay other talent.

shoots 3's better. That's it

[Proctor]

shoots 3's better. That's it
Let us know when Gobert can shoot anything

obviously they don't want other talent. If they did they wouldn't be paying Rudy's backup 30 million.

You'll need other talent around Turner since he's weak on the boards

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Lmao Kuzma is terrible and salaries don't match.

[NugzFan]

Laker fans are adorable

[TheGoatest]

This is the type of trade Lakers should've done when Kuzma had some trade value. Now they'll just get laughed at if they offer him for anything than some bench-warming scrub.
