Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyle Kuzma/Talen Horton-Tucker
The Los Angeles Lakers are determined to upgrade their roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis this offseason. Kyle Kuzma is the best trade chip they have and will shop him around the league. The Cleveland Cavaliers are one team that should look into acquiring him.
The Cavaliers are looking to move the contract of Kevin Love this offseason and could attach point guard Collin Sexton to him as part of a package deal. Sexton is who the Lakers should be targeting to fill their hole at point guard, but they could make an expanded deal work.
In that expanded deal, Kuzma would be the centerpiece returning to Cleveland along with Talen Horton-Tucker being part of a sign-and-trade to Cleveland.
Kuzma would provide the Cavaliers with a scoring punch from the power forward spot, something they are missing should Love be traded out of town. His improving defense and playmaking, along with his already strong scoring and rebounding instincts, is something a young Cavaliers team could use.

Horton-Tucker is a 20-year old forward with immense potential. Any rebuilding team should take a shot at him given his immense potential as a two-way playmaking forward. In this scenario, the Cavaliers signed him to a big contract, which will pave the way for a sign-and-trade involving Kuzma with Sexton and Love heading back to Los Angeles.
