Kyle Kuzma still does not seem to have hit his peak playing for Los Angeles Lakers. At 24, he might still have a breakthrough season. However, there have been a few rumours in recent times that have suggested that the Lakers are currently looking to offload Kuzma. The Lakers, if they are indeed looking to trade him, will look to cash in with trade assets that could help them in the future. With the rumours suggesting Los Angeles Lakers are looking to trade Kyle Kuzma, here are three teams that can do good with the 24-year old.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Kyle Kuzma would be a decent addition to the attack of most sides in the league at this moment. For Oklahoma City, a team that could do well with some additions on the attack, the inclusion of Kuzma would be most welcome. Oklahoma also have a few draft assets that could push the Lakers into making a deal with them.

The Pistons are a team with a few veterans on their roster. With the situation that the Lakers are in, they could do well with a veteran that could help them in their quest for the 2019/20 NBA title and then draft assets that will help them for their future. The likes of Andre Drummond could be of interest for the Lakers along with draft assets while the Pitons will have a 24-year old forward in their roster.

Cleveland Cavaliers
For a team struggling to find its pace, Kuzma would make a great addition to the team. The Cavaliers are still looking to rebuild their squad since the departure of LeBron James after the 2017-18 season. For such a team, a 24-year old would obviously be a welcome addition, but at what cost? Cavaliers might not give away too many draft assets for Kuzma, and not many players in their lineup look as though they will be welcomed by the Lakers. Hence, the prospect of this move transpiring seem very sleek and depends a lot on what Love’s exit could bring to the Cavs.
