Before the free market opened, the Lakers took the lead, using this year's No. 28 pick and Danny Green to trade Schroder from the Thunder! In the 2019-20 season, Schroder played just one start for the Thunder in 63 games, averaging 19 points, 3.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.
Green played 61 games for the Lakers last season, averaging only 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, and 37.8% from three-pointers. The Lakers used a draft pick at the end of the first round and a 33-year-old shooter in decline to trade for a 27-year-old strong guard. From now on, the Lakers earned it.
The Lakers' desire to reinforce did not stop there. After sending away Danny Green, the next potential traded object is Kuzma.
The latter played 54 games for the Lakers last season, averaging only 12.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, which did not meet the team’s desire to rank him as the third team leader, especially in the playoffs. His performance was worse, even worse than Caruso, who scored lower.
Kuzma himself is also very aware of his current experience, the team wants to continue to strengthen, it may only be a matter of time before he leaves Los Angeles.
The player who is currently very popular with the Lakers is DeRozan of the Spurs. The latter just announced that he will implement the player option for next season. This does not mean that DeRozan will continue to play for the Spurs next season. On the contrary, the Spurs used his contract to trade in exchange for more high-quality chips in order to prevent Green from jumping out of his contract and becoming a free agent. Want to impress the Spurs to trade with himself, Kuzma will be one of the most important chips for the Lakers!
As the door of the free market opens closer and closer, the heart of potential trading partner Kuzma becomes more unreliable, and he himself has made relevant actions to respond to his own trading. Post "Lght enough disrespect on my name. Y'all will be reminded" on his social media. Kuzma's name appeared in the trading rumors of
for so long, which made Kuzma feel very upset and said that he did not get enough respect. Finally, I said that I would remind everyone that this "hate" is remembered in Kuzma's heart, and it means "walk and see" with bold words.
After sending this message, Kuzma cancelled his social media account. What does this operation mean?
Former Barcelona chairman Bartomeu logged out his social media account on the day before his official resignation. Could Kuzma follow the example of Bartomeu and he has entered the countdown to leave the team?
