The Lakers are interested in trading for Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
Kuzma is having the best year of his NBA career so far, averaging 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 35 minutes through 27 games this season for Washington.
However, Kuzma is interested in earning a big contract next season. The 27-year-old has a 2023-24 player option in his contract but can decline it to instead become a free agent. According to Haynes, that likely will happen.
