Notice how it says KCP or Kuzma. That could mean that the team has a second trade lined up for Kuz.


Yeah, it could or they just want KCP instead of Kuzma.

As its been the case for 3 years, no matter how hard we try. No one gives anything valuable for Kuz.


Possible, but it doesn’t mean you panic and just give him away.

Man. I don’t like that adding 22 pick.

I would keep KCP because of his durability and defense, but man definitely better get some wing help.

OR that's it and they will fill the roster yet again with Vets; we'll see soon...

Better not add the 22 pick for Hield.

Please don't make the same mistake as last year. (bleep) that noise.

The Lakers should counter and have the Kings give them the 39th pick.

I'll take Buddy and Droz (assuming in my dream that we get him outright in FA) as a pretty damn good retooling, all things considered.

If we trade for Buddy, can we still sign Schroder/THT/Caruso back?

Kuz/Harrell for Buddy alone would be highway robbery, though, no? Seems like we'd have to throw in something else, at least. That just seems too good to be true.

I think it's possible Kuzma or KCP will be involved in a 2nd trade.

Buddy is an elite shooter like we have never seen in a Laker uniform. Yes, his defense is not great but his offense will make up for it.

Nice piece by KOC at the Ringer. Sure does seem like Buddy is coming.

If we're adding KCP and #22, I want Delon Wright and #39 from sacramento as well.

Wright >>>> KCP

2 guys that will average 35+ ppg for them…not imo

Pelinka isn’t Magic Johnson overpay bad, but he seems to give in a bit. Part of it might be pressure from Klutch and other teams know it…

2008 Sasha Vujavic was pretty special.

The pick too….geez we need to get Bagley too. He can be a valuable asset . 2 starters and a decent draft pick. That’s a lot


giving up all our resources for buddy?

reggie bullock comes at a fraction of the cost, gives you many of the same things, and saves these pieces for a PG upgrade..

Both players they are giving us back are already superior players to Trez and Kuzma so highly unlikely they are giving us both for Kuz/Trez and 22nd.


I think it would be more like Kuz/Trez/22 for Hield/39.

Love it but not sure Brooklyn does.

Keep Kuz, add a good bench shooter in Shamet, and add a 21ppg level guy who is arguably a top 3 shooter in the NBA. +39 do pull off some draft Magic.

Yikes, if Pelinka really gets swindled by the Kings by giving up pick 22 and almost giving up whatever Lakers assets that are left.

KCP is more valuable to us than Kuzma is, KCP is Klutch while Kuz is CAA, and there's the apparent idea that Luke likes Kuz. It would seem like if there's a trade to be made with the Kings, that Kuzma and not KCP would be a part of it.

I'd do Kuz/Harrell/#22 for Hield all day long.

Hopefully "or KCP" doesn't mean "if Trez opts out" then KCP will be included.
