Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Jarrett Culver

Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: Kyle Kuzma

This is a simple player-for-player swap but one that would help both teams in the immediate future. Kyle Kuzma was able to avoid a trade when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Anthony Davis but he will not get lucky twice.

Kuzma would be on his way to the Minnesota Timberwolves while Jarrett Culver would look to develop in Los Angeles along with other young players such as Talen Horton-Tucker. For a young player like Culver, there is no better player to learn from than James. 

Here is why the acquisition of their new player would benefit both the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves in the upcoming NBA season.
