#2 San Antonio Spurs
It is pretty much evident that the current roster that's at the disposal of San Antonio Spurs is too inconsistent to make a push for the playoffs. A rebuild is imminent for Gregg Popovich's side and they could put the gears in motion by trading for Kyle Kuzma.
As mentioned earlier, the Lakers need more depth at the point due to fitness concerns of Rajon Rondo and Dejounte Murray looks like the perfect addition in that regard. Drafted in 2016 by the Spurs, Murray was expected to be a cornerstone of the new San Antonio revolution but recent reports have suggested that the player has grown frustrated and wants to leave.
Murray is a player with a lot of upside and although he isn't the greatest long-range scorer, he also brings defense to the table, something that Frank Vogel demands of his personnel. Additionally, the Spurs have several guards with good scoring ability – the likes of Bryn Forbes, Lonnie Walker, and Derrick White – that could also be offered to the Lakers to make the deal go through.
Acquiring Kuzma would also be the first step towards moving LaMarcus Aldridge, who also carries considerable trade value and is expected to be phased out.
Guess the Lakers players!
