I imagine they'd want to retain some of their young core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point he's missed nearly two full years of play. He's doing more to sabotage himself with that play than he is the Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I necessarily agree, but Kuzma is arguably their best shooting big man. I think it has more to do with how much the Lakers view the likelihood of Leonard joining next year. Why give up anything of value? At this point, not sure the Lakers are offering more than a Randle (S&T) and pick(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sixers aren't willing to deal any of their top 3 assets (Fultz, Simmons, and Embiid), and they haven't struck a deal outside of that, why should the Lakers? At this point, Ingram being off the table is obvious. Keeping Kuzma off makes some sense. If you believe you can get Kawhi without giving up Kuzma, wouldn't you?

What if he gets traded to BOS/PHILA and wins the title? Or at least makes it. Its not like they would have to put a lot of valuable stuff in the trade since apparently the Lakers aren't.

Maybe Kawhi does re-sign with Philadelphia or Boston, but at this point it's Lakers only. Right now, Boston isn't offering anything of value and it appears neither is Philadelphia. The package for Kawhi is going to be underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
