?Trade Value Going Up?: Wizards Star?s Big Performance in Win vs Bucks Won?t Please the Lakers

The Washington Wizards pulled off a stunner against a Giannis Antetokounmpo less Milwaukee Bucks. Beating the former champs by 23 points, Kyle Kuzma controlled the offense. While he struggled to make shots, he set up his teammates. Notching up a second career triple-double, the young Wizard continued to impress even on an off night. It might be great news for Washington. However, the sirens may be going off for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 27 years has been on the Lakers’ radar as they face another horrific season. The former Lakers has unleashed with the Wizards. Averaging a career-high 21.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, the forward has evolved since being the purple and golds sharpshooter. Kuzma could serve as a solution to two of their biggest problems, rebounding and shooting. The Lakers lack a rebounding star with Anthony Davis going down. Moreover, as one of the worst shooting teams, they would happily welcome a 34.6% shooter.

However, the time might just be ticking for the 2020 NBA champions. As Kuz recorded an impressive night against the Bucks, fans sent out a warning to the Lakers.

The Lakers need to act quickly for Kuzma

The Wizards got their 21st win off the season in a demolition of the Bucks. The 118-95 win marks their fifth in a row. Kuzma and co. took advantage of the Milwaukee offense without Antetokounmpo. The 27-year-old put up 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists, a second career triple-double. Likewise, the Laker nation saw in worry as Kuzma’s impressive performances continued to elevate his trade value.

After the triple-double night, the NBA world sent warning signals to LeBron James and the Lakers. The purple and gold have continued to monitor Kuzma’s position. However, if they wait for his value to fall, the strategy could cost them the season. Rob Pelinka and the 17-time champs trod carefully with their two first-round picks in the offseason. However, with a 15-21 record nearly halfway through the season, it is probably time to make those future draft picks available.

LeBron James has continued to show his capabilities as a top-level talent. Moreover, if Anthony Davis returns, Kuzma could form a solid frontcourt with him. The 27-year-old has proved he can take on the bigger challenge.
