This would open things up nicely for the Kuz. Walker is significantly better than those two, even though Lonzo has improved steadily. Hang up phone if I were the Hornets.

Hang up phone if I were the Hornets. I like Kemba but I don't think so. the Lakers aren't going to give up 2 promising rookies for Kemba Walker. the Lakers are most likely the ones to say no. The Hornets could use the change cause Kemba isn't the guy to bring them to the next level but i don't see this trade happening and it's not the Hornets saying no from where I stand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaiway 416 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 seems like they wouldn't even consider trading ball/ingram... kemba is 27 and is while amazing is undersized. Feels like smoke and that they are pursuing smaller trades for their other players - Randle, Clarkson, Lopez, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs bunny 1,825 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 His value is depleted and his fantasy owners should realize it's the Randle show in LA and hopefully his owners can trade Kuzma on his name value.. Roto world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs bunny 1,825 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) How do you trade someone if their value is depleted? Lol. Oh and I real like Randle's line last night compared to Kuzma's? Edited January 12, 2018 by Bugs bunny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

night 116 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Played well tonight. The Lakers were going to him almost the entire 4th quarter. Too bad he didn't have stocks but at least he didn't turn the ball over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gill2k 269 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 He was on fire in the 4th! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcpick3 4 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 hes been great so far this season but i did drop for john collins/kyle anderson/dejounte murray. not sure if this was a dumb move but these guys provide stocks beyond 3's and points. maybe i'll come to regret it once randle is traded but we'll see.

Raziballs3324 18 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yeah same! Love Kuzma, the outbursts are great... got stocks at one point but then no pts or 3s... so moved him and Fox (the FG killer) for Henson and Bogdan. 42 minutes ago, necro892003 said: only reason i traded. i love kuzma but when i had him he really didnt get stls or blocks. i need both if not one of the other on my team from every player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rando 462 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 In a redraft I see merit in all the recent posts about trading/dropping Kuzma. In a 9-cat roto keeper, he is holding good value despite a relative lack of stocks. He has shown some signs that he can earn a moderate amount of stocks. In a keeper, I would actually be looking to acquire Kuzma, depending on the keeper system. In my league I can keep Kuzma in the 13th then the 12th the next two years (drafted him this year in the 14th). In a league like that, Kuzma is worth holding for his current value plus unrealized potential. The kid has a presence on the court that belies his rookie status, and he looks confident and comfortable out there. He hustles, so I think his defensive acumen will come around in the next two seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrotherMouzone 36 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 His dropoff so obviously coincided with Ball's injury issues. When Ball comes back, is there any reason to think the numbers don't trend back up? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rando 462 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Kuzma is benched, at least for my team. I need guys who get stocks, particularly blocks, and Jarret Allen just replaced him in my UTIL spot until Kyle starts contributing on both ends of the floor, or otherwise makes starting him the obvious move. Love Kuzma long term and can keep him for cheap the next two years, but short term, just letting him camp out on the bench until he heats back up... a lot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs bunny 1,825 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yep. Let's see what happens at trade deadline. Hopefully someone moves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nyer01 14 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 i've owned kuzma since draft day but i never watched the lakers this season (i live in europe and they usually play very late, like 3/4 AM local time). so what's up with him? why has his scoring gone so down, for so long? has something changed in the lakers rotation/offense or is it just a tough moment for him personally (rookie wall maybe)?

Lonzo is down Randle playing well Bad defense Low usage rate, they don't incorporate him as much for some reason Kuzma is a unselfish player and likes to keep the ball moving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevekerr01 109 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If Clarkson gets moved that's a lot of shots off the bench.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
