Kuz is gonna get us AD, he's better than Tatum, and NO will see that. |

Quote: | Some fun facts about Kuzma's big first quarter from the Lakers. He's the first Laker with 20 in the first since Kobe in 2011. Only six players have had multiple 20-point quarters this season: Steph Curry, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Paul George, Kemba Walker and Kyle Kuzma |

Kuz is the best Laker draft pick since Kobe. |

Would be the stupidest thing to trade Kuzma
You don’t get his production at his contract value. 2 more years at dirt cheap prices and then his 2nd contract will also be cost controlled.
It’s the same reason you don’t move Hart. You don’t get players that give you his type of production for his value. It’s why hitting on draft picks is sooooo huge.
Quite frankly no one should be trade because they all will have below market value contracts for their expected production.
We just need to keep adding to the roster. |

Would rather just sign KL and figure out what BI could get us in terms of a big man... but NO would absolutely want Kuzma. Hope we say NO. |

He's untouchable to me, sort of. If NOP wants him for AD sure I guess. This guy third option on a championship team and he's on a dirt cheap contract. One of the best bang for your buck players in the League. |

We really just need to reverse our free agency luck and get Kawhi.. That or trade Ingram and others for Beal and go after a B+ player this summer in FA. _________________ https://www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/brandon_ingram_vs_tim_thomas.htm

Turnover at the end wasn't Kuz's fault at all. They played good d on him and got two deflections on the ball when he caught it..
Refs also allowed Tucker to mug the (bleep) out of him.
I'm happy with what I saw from Kuz. |

Tucker absolutely owned his ass after they figured Kuz was the only guy who was scoring. |

Tucker shut down Kuz and his butter finger was not a good look. This is why Kuz is a 3rd option on championship team because once Zo went out he became useless |

Love his scoring, but keep him out of the center position. Coaching blunder at the end by Shaw. |

Nothing wrong with 3rd option on a championship team. And by the way the Lakers are 0-2 without him since Lebron got hurt. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I don't agree that Tucker shut Kuz down..
Refs allowed him to foul the (bleep) out of him on every possession.

Tucker locked him up. But last play wasn’t his fault. Hart shouldn’t have passed it there |

Kuzma just dropped it. If he didn't he had a pass to an open Ingram at the rim. |

No he didn't.. Harden deflected it as it got to Kuz, and Tucker got his hand on it. |

Tucker was bodying the crap out of Kuz 2nd half. tucker is a strong ass defender and he was allowed to jump all over Kuz with no calls. Such BS |

That's what I'm saying.. he didn't lock Kuz up.. He was just allowed to foul the (bleep) out of him. |
