    Kuz needs to be aggressive tonight on offense. I don't mean just hoisting up shots. Knock down open looks this game, if the shot's not falling drive and either take it or get open looks for others. That's still the strength of Kuz's game - versatility on offense. Bring it!!

    Probably the worst player on the roster, honestly. It's time for the Lakers to trade him. Every year, we ask ourselves if this is the year Kuz will improve. Nope, he takes a step back year after year. He looked great midseason but then got injured and never did anything good since. He needs to be on a team where he has no expectations to be good. Sacramento would be a great spot for Kuz... Kuz+KCP for Buddy Hields?

    If Kuz can figure it out yet after three years playing with Lebron it just isn’t going to happen.

    Move him and watch him become an all star on a bum squad like his other youngster buddies.

    Eh, he had a very good season, he upped his defense, he was making excellent passes, attacking the boards, it just went really badly in the end for him. It’s true he can’t shoot though, so I can absolutely see him being moved, I just hope it isn’t a lateral move, we need to get value, not just ship him out for the sake of it.

    What the hell happened to his jump shot? he went from being a smart player on offense to just looking uncoordinated on offense.

    Phoenix is a good defensive team but that was dissappointing

    I think he will be moved just a matter of finding the right deal.

    Question- when does his contract extension kick in, in terms of trade value? Is it this summer? Is it during the next season?

    Contract kicks in this offseason so he is a $13 million trade contract right now.

    With his salary jumping, I think he's gone because he's the central piece to any trade we make this off season. I hear Indy is nice this time of year.

    He’s become a very tradeable piece then.

    After what we just saw, you might have spoken too soon.

    That’s two subpar playoff seasons in a row. Now it’s officially a trend.

    Now we need to explore Kuz + KCP = ? trade. Need a reliable shooter on the wing, pronto.
