Washington Wizards Receive: G Patrick Beverley, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Kyle Kuzma
LeBron James is a star-caliber forward having a great season on a disappointing team. That should sound familiar to Washington Wizards fans.
Kyle Kuzma fits the same description. In fact, unlike James, he’s having a career year. Yet, the 15-21 Wizards have little to show for it.
Perhaps a reunion with the Lakers would make sense. Kuzma has previous experience playing alongside James.
Moreover, he’s exactly the type of floor spacing, slashing wing who ought to complement him.

Meanwhile, rumors have suggested that Kuzma wants out of Washington. Even if he doesn’t, moving him for this valuable first-round pick would make sense.
On the other hand, if the Lakers are looking to upgrade their guard rotation, they’ll prefer this next deal.
