The Bad

Kyle Kuzma, Lakers (three years, $39 million, third-year player option) – This is an awful deal on two levels. First of all, this is a hard thing for casuals to realize because he’s relatively famous and plays for the Lakers, but Kuzma isn’t particularly good right now and isn’t so young that he’s likely to get a whole lot better.

Yes, he’s a plus rebounder at the 3 and can go on scoring jags on occasion. He also struggles on defense, passes the ball once a week and shot 31.6 percent from 3 last year. My evaluation earlier this offseason had him worth less than half this amount: $17 million on a three-year deal. You don’t need to splurge to keep this guy on your roster, and you certainly don’t need to grant him a third-year player option.

The other reason this is bad is because it kills a lot of the Lakers’ trade optionality. One of the best ways they had to upgrade their roster in-season was to put Kuzma into a trade, especially since the Lakers don’t have a tradable first-round draft pick until 2027. The Poison Pill provision of contact extensions effectively takes this option off the board now for L.A. For better or worse, Kuzma and the Lakers are stuck with each other.

So far this season has been weird. The Heat, Lakers, Nuggets, and Raptors all started the season off (0-1) and those were your final four teams in the bubble. Then today the Nets, Bucks, and 76ers all lost... to the Hornets,  Cavs, and Knicks and those are supposed to be the East top 3 seeds.
