A player who got traded from the Los Angeles Lakers may have another chance to wear their jersey again. In fact, several franchises have shown interest including the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Sacramento Kings. However, NBA fans ripped LeBron James’ team for even conceptualizing that very possibility.

As per Eric Pincus of the Bleacher Report, the Lakers have been interested to monitor Kyle Kuzma again. He wrote, “Another team to monitor would be the Lakers, knowing Kuzma has championship experience playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis“.

The news of the Knicks and Kings looking into this prospect has not enraged fans as much as the Lakers’ interest. One user said, “If this is true, the Lakers are pathetic“. They were referencing how Kuzma was probably a polarizing figure in the Lakers team. The same user believed that the franchise used him as a scapegoat back in the day.

The media also was quick to observe that Kuzma wasn’t a “natural fit” for the team. It also seemed like he needed to have the ball in his hands to show off his offensive skills.

He got traded from the Lakers, as the team gained Russell Westbrook. Kyle Kuzma is currently playing with the Washington Wizards lineup, averaging 21.4 points and 7.7 rebounds. Reports claim that the Lakers would not exploit this version of Kuzma, as his role would probably be more of the sixth man. But they already have Westbrook for that.

Is Kyle Kuzma a good option for LeBron James’ Lakers?

Having both Kuzma and Westbrook play for the Lakers may not make a lot of sense. And reports also suggest that the team would not able to convince the Wizards of taking back Russell Westbrook.

Kyle Kuzma has been faring well outside of the Lakers – a fact that has not eclipsed him either.
