Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal
Absolutely. After all, Bamba wasn’t part of their playoff rotation this year anyway.
For that matter, neither was Beasley. The Lakers are giving up nothing of short-term interest to acquire Kuzma here. Meanwhile, they should have a short-term focus.
After all, the Lakers still have LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They shouldn’t get squeamish about a heavily protected first. This team is fresh off of a Conference Finals appearance. The Lakers will have championship ambitions next season.
Kuzma would help fulfill them. This is a Swiss army knife of a player who offers a little bit of everything on a basketball floor.
