Kuzma's strength is average, but why not be sold by the Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers are giants with a long history in the league. It has won the championship of 17, and the team has produced superstars such as Johnson, Jabbar, O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant.

Since the first round of the 20 12 playoffs was swept by the Spurs, the team has not entered the playoffs for six years, which is unbearable for a giant like the Lakers.

After the arrival of James, the Lakers finally ushered in the hope of revival, and Magic Johnson, the president of team operations, will return to glory in two to three years. There is not much demand for record this season, because the team is full of young people with short-term contracts, and it is not a failure as long as they enter the playoffs. The Lakers will target Thompson and Kawaii in the free market next year, but if there are good trading partners this season, the Lakers are not for sale except James.

Kuzma is not for sale. Now it seems that these young players of the Lakers have no superstar potential and their weaknesses are obvious. Ingram's confrontation and three-point ability, the ball brother's shooting and inside finishing ability, Kuzma's defense, Hart's low upper limit as a role player are not bad. These four players are not bad, but they are not the cornerstone of the Lakers' future. As long as they can get superstars, Magic Johnson will not hesitate to trade them.

There is no doubt that Kuzma is definitely not for sale in the Lakers. So far this season, Kuzma has been in excellent form. He is the second scorer besides James. As an insider who is good at projecting, the team has more abundant tactics, but Hart is obviously not satisfied with such a team state, and it is entirely possible to trade him to the Lakers without a lot of chips or even the first round of signing.

In the eyes of many people, the Lakers have not sold anything except James, which is obviously unreasonable! First of all, even now James can't bring a championship to the team, and the management pays more attention to the future of the team. James exists more because he wants to be a mentor. Secondly, the team has identified the core players in the future, namely Kuzma, Ingram and Bauer. In today's league, there are not many newcomers at the core level, which also leads to the fact that the stars who entered the league in 00- 10 still dominate the league. Kuzma just entered the league and showed a good personal strength. Ying Ge has been trained by the team for more than two years, and he is definitely not for sale.

Why is Kuzma not for sale? As a rookie who finished the first round, what qualifications does Kuzma have for a giant team like the Lakers? Kuzma's performance in his rookie season was amazing. He is not like a rookie at all, but more like a battle-hardened veteran, and can even be called a killer.

Last season, Kuzma averaged 6.3 rebounds per game 16. 1 minute, with many bright spots. What impressed me the most was that he scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists with a shooting percentage of over 70% in the game against MVP Harden, and finally led the team to beat the Rockets with 122- 1 16 and won 565438+. To some extent, the existence of James has an impact on the growth of Kuzma this season.

According to the growth track of a normal star, Kuzma is fully capable of averaging 22+7 or even higher. But after enjoying the ball with James, he can still get 16.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game so far this season. In addition, he is still in the rookie contract. How can a cheap and good Lakers give up?

Harthart averaged only 9. 1 point last season, and the highest point in the season was only 2 1 point, which will only be a good bargaining chip in any team! In my opinion, at present, only Ying Ge, Kuzma and James are on sale, and Bauer is in the middle.

Regarding the valuation of Kuzma and Hart, they are just different young players. Kuzma is a sports and space-based inside player. Hart has shown the potential to be a super 3D player, but these are just potentials. Without LeBron's super fighting capacity, the Lakers would be ranked fifth in the West, and Kuzma and Hart may be so-called not for sale, because the future of the team depends on them.

In fact, LeBron is not for sale by the Lakers. As long as the overweight is appropriate, the magician doesn't mind trading him for two players ranked TOP 10 in the league.
