[Kuzma]: “I’m not playing behind LeBron and AD. Those guys are my position, who I am, my style… I don’t have that anymore. Me, Brad and KP don’t get in each other’s way.”

Kuz will chase the money and opportunity this summer.
Kuz playing behind Bron and AD won a title
Kuz, Beal, and KP is the definition of mediocrity
hope he gets paid tho.
Kuz said he had to take a backseat to those guys. He also said “rightfully so”.
Love seeing him enjoy his role.
Fan fiction of Lakers trading for him again is laughable.
well Glad that question is over
ppl can move on from that idea
Kuz is not a good fit for this team just let that idea go
He’d be best backing up LeBron and AD instead of starting.
FUCK
Which was the reason why he suddenly was unable to average 18 and 8 on that team. But all his non Bron and AD teams he’s able to get those numbers easily. Also because Vogel didn’t run offense for him.
Hallelujah
Requires to many shots to be consistently effective and even then he’s way to inconsistent.
Meh don’t mind it , he’s a bit wild in his play and that wouldn’t have been good for us or for him as a role player
He’s right, makes no sense for his career to go back to the lakers. He’s a star on the wizards, while on the lakers he was stuck being a role player off the bench.
I will leave this here for those who may have forgotten about kuz’s time here….
kuz wants to shoot 18 shots a game and get paid he’s not coming here
Kuz isn’t really a championship player. He’s looks great at times if you give him a lot of shots but that’s it. You’ll only win a championship if he’s like the 5th best player on the team.
– Not efficient enough to be an elite role player.
– Not good enough to be a top 3 option on a contender.
Hell be a double double guy thru his career that i think he got a good shot at.
This is why a lot of us wanted him gone if you’ll recall
gonna get traded soon
I mean he is not wrong.
Kuz’s best position is as a PF/SF and Lakers’ best two players are PF and SF.
Not just that. Kuz is a good offensive weapon only when he is a high volume scorer. He isn’t really that reliable on the offense if he is getting around 10 odd shots. He needs around 14/15 shots consistently to get into rhythm as a scorer because he isn’t that efficient a shooter. It was the case with Lakers as well. Its no surprise his best games were when Lakers didn’t have LeBron or AD.
Its not a knock on him. Its just what it is. I still am tempted to get him for say PatBev + a Top-5 protected 1st because he is a wing with good size and scoring ability and Lakers have a 40 year old LeBron and a vet minimum Troy Brown Jr as the only wings in the squad.
Thank you, children on this sub thinks he fits with us, i swear this shithole getting worst everyday
Just like a lot of our former young talent, Kuzma couldn’t blossom in LA as an individual player. Needs minutes and the ball so he could hone his craft
Good for him. He needs to secure the bag this summer
I will say this again. Tonight we saw what we need is shooting and length. Kuzma is a Tweener. A great one, but Lebron is a power forward at this stage of his career which means AD is Center. They should be looking to trade for that SF position and three point shooters who stay good three point shooters when they play on the Lakers. I’m thinking Bojan and Burks sounds pretty nice.
Why would he need to play behind them? He can be SF, Lebron at PF, and AD at C
People forget that Kuz bitched a lot while he was here about his role.
Lol.
He’s not winnings a ring either
Ad a center now Kuz you can be the other 3/4 with Bron

Bron would move to 3 spot, kuz be 4, AD 5
