Although the regular season has ended, the lakers' residual heat still exists, and it is exciting that some role players can already take on big responsibilities, which also provides an important reference for the Lakers' team building ideas next season. Munch and Rivers are already indispensable role players for the Lakers, and I believe that the Lakers will not use them as trading chips, rather than giving them to other teams to use, it is better to use them themselves. To be honest, in addition to Westbrook's disappointment this season, thick eyebrows are really bad at managing his body, and I hope he can seize the time to lose weight and pay attention to physical training, and his attendance determines how far the Lakers can go.
If there is a discussion about how the Lakers can also strengthen the lineup, there is now a new option, and it is reported that the Lakers are considering the possibility of Kuzma's return. Assuming that the Lakers can return to James's most reliable partner at a lower cost, the Lakers can still be expected to take off again next season. The potential deal proposal is for the Lakers to send Tucker Jr., Bazemore and a second-round pick, while the Wizards send only Kuzma alone. Seeing this, I believe that everyone feels that this transaction is impossible, and thinks that the Wizards must not be stupid, and they are certainly not willing to exchange their key core cultivation for some unequal players.
Individuals also have reservations about this trading proposal, but try to analyze it with the idea that everything is possible. First, the Wizards will definitely have to rebuild, not to mention whether Kuzma can stay on the team, the idea of the biggest star Bill leaving the team is already well known, as to whether to become a free agent or leave through a trade, there is certainly no conclusion now. But if Bill does leave, kuzma will have a hard time being the wizard's first core, after all, Kuzma is not at the level where he can lead the team alone, and at most he is only the first deputy of the core. Therefore, it is expected that Kuzma may also leave the Wizards.
Second, the relationship between the Wizards and the Lakers is good, at least on the surface. When the two teams made the Westbrook deal, some friendship foundations should have been established. Player trades are a business, but not every time they have to be reciprocal, if not one-sided deals, then it is still possible. Tucker Jr. will definitely have more room to play in the Wizards than in the Lakers, which is why the Lakers have been peddling Tucker, and the ability of this player should be faced. Therefore, it is also possible for the Wizards to get a good player, and it is also possible to let Kuzma enter the palace to assist James again.
In addition, James is a key figure, and Kuzma did not break off contact with James after leaving, which laid some foreshadowing for them to cooperate again. As one of the best performing wings this season, Kuzma has improved significantly, averaging 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate has also improved, and I personally believe that Kuzma can still have a statistical improvement after returning to the Lakers, and even become a championship puzzle again. There are some players who are destined to be born for the championship, and Kuzma has such potential. From a personal emotional point of view, I definitely hope that Kuzma can return to the Lakers, as to whether it is such a transaction plan, no one can say for sure, but it is worth looking forward to.
