Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Kevin Knox, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via DET), 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA)
New York Knicks Receive: Kyle Kuzma
This is a trade that would give Knox the change of scenery that he needs. He would have a chance to come off the bench and potentially develop for the Lakers with the guidance of a strong coaching staff. Not to mention LeBron James, who has been a leader for younger players for years now.
Kyle Kuzma is the Lakers’ biggest trade piece if they are going to make a deal. He would be on his way to New York in hopes of giving the Knicks another young player who they hope is part of the future.
Both teams would be getting something interesting out of this trade. They may not be interested, but it could make sense to pull the trigger.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit each team.
