#2 Kyle Kuzma drawing interest from the Kings and Knicks

Kyle Kuzma continues to be linked with a trade away from the Lakers

Heading into the season, Kyle Kuzma had been tipped as the player to emerge as the Lakers' third star alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, the 24-year-old has endured a frustrating campaign, averaging a career-low 25.0 minutes per contest.

Kuzma's future in Los Angeles has been the subject of intense rumors over the past week and Jason Anderson of Sacramento Bee is reporting that the Lakers have held trade discussions with the Sacramento Kings over a potential deal:

The Lakers and Kings previously discussed a deal involving Bogdanovic and Kyle Kuzma, but a league source told The Sacramento Bee the Kings were unlikely to make that trade.

Additionally, The Athletic's Shams Charania is reporting that the Knicks have held exploratory conversations to sign the forward:

Kuzma has played 40 times this season, averaging 13.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting 33.7% from beyond the arc. With the Lakers interested in New York's Morris, it is possible that Kuzma could be included in a potential trade package.
