The Lakers have shown signs of life this season, and all hope is not lost. They were recently on a 5-game win streak without their superstar, Anthony Davis. LeBron James is in scorching hot form, even in year 20 and LA would be wise not to waste it.
So there is a fair amount of reason to believe the Lakers will go out and make a trade to strengthen their squad and make a push for the playoffs. And one name that has been brought up recently was already a Laker.
Kyle Kuzma is playing out of his mind and the Lakers want him back!
Yes, you read that right! Kyle Kuzma might be on his way back to the shores of Los Angeles. The Wizards star has been in scintillating form of late. He hit this game-winner last night.

Kuzma has been playing like a superstar. He is averaging 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. That output will certainly help the Lakers out a lot.
And as per the Athletic and Bleacher Report, among other publications, have mentioned that the Lakers have inquired about their former player.
What would be the cost?
NBA Trade Rumors Lakers, what is the cost to get Kyle Kuzma?
So, if you wind up your trade machines you will see that Patrick Beverley and the 2027 first-round pick might just be enough to land Kyle Kuzma.
The only issue is the that Wizards star will have many suitors. There is going to be an array of teams after the star and without much leverage, the Lakers might have to part with more than they would like to.
One thing is for sure, there is going to be a good chance that this deal picks up more traction over the next few days. LeBron James wants help. Badly.
