[Weinbach] Kyle Kuzma is expected to decline his $13.0M player option with the Wizards and become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Potential suitors for Kuzma could include the Pacers, Rockets, Spurs, Kings, and Jazz. A reunion with the Lakers is also a looming possibility.

Come home bb.
we don’t want him
We canāt afford himā¦
With what money?
Heās getting paid.
Pacers number 1 maybe the kings after depending on how much money they offer
COME BACK
No please. Heās gotten better but I could definitely see him underperforming here since heās the type thatās needs a large volume of shots to succeed
On the Wizards he could chuck all day long with Beal and Porzingis out but on the Lakers heād be in a reduced role. Just lock in Rui
Iād rather have kuzma over Dloā¦.he can get you a consistent 17ppg.
I honestly think he can get more money and a better role elsewhere. Weād be trying to push kuz back into his role box and we know how that could go. The idea of another wing would be nice, but I just donāt see it happening
Sadly we can’t afford him
Just another player using Lakers as leverage. He donāt make no sense with Rui and Vando. And we canāt afford him whatsoever.
Get that bag, Kyle! Thanks for helping us get (another) ring.
At most we’d offer the MLE which is probably half what he can get elsewhere.
I suppose we could sign and trade too if getting hard capped is in our plans. I’d rather get hard capped for Kuz than FVV but man things start getting pretty complicated if we sign and trade Russell for Kuzma and say CP3 isn’t bought out. We’d have just the MLE to find a starting caliber pg.
Very unlikely he ends up here.
A decline that makes sense
no no no no no
kings would be a good fit
With what money? š
Kuz or Rui?
This sub needs to fully understand Lakers don’t have cap space for anything other than small moves.
I was a huge Kuzma supporter when he was here, but he was never an efficient scorer, he was great because he was playing for cheap.
This is about the same with Dlo, I’m a massive critic of him as a 30 millions player, if we can sign him for 12 millions I’m going to become a relentless supporter.
Please stay away
No thank you
Love Kuz but even if we had the money, itās not the right fit yet
I would bet that Washington is going to really pay him. Heās earned it.
Dafaq
Every player. EVERY player will be linked to the Lakers in some way for headlines.
Not a fucking chance rob does this
Dammit I just moved to DC and was looking forward to seeing him play. Figures lol.
