The Lakers could use a player like Kuzma, and he did win a championship with Lebron James and Anthony Davis back in the bubble. But aside from picks, the Lakers don’t have much they’d be willing to give up that would interest the Wizards.

A deal that looks something like Kuzma for Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Schifino, filler and a first round pick might work for both teams. Once again, the Wizards would be taking on guys they wouldn’t really want, but that’s okay for a rebuilding team. They might get something for Vanderbilt in another trade. And Hood-Schifino is at least kinda-sorta interesting.
