Kyle Kuzma is considered family to the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s not going anywhere!
Lake Show Life realizes that there are many reports out there trying to make the situation harder than it is. This is really simple if you use common sense. Let’s look at the full picture, shall we? Let’s take this further than the hardwood.
- Would it make sense to making a trade right now while the entire organization is still trying to support each other grieving the loss of their greatest icon in Kobe Bryant?
- Does it seem kinda harsh to imagine the Lakers trading the one player in Kuzma that looked up to Bryant the most while being mentored before his death? Plus, Kuzma seems to be living by some of the Mamba Mentality codes it seems.

It’s sad that NBA 2K and the ESPN Trade Machine has taken up as much of Lakers rumors as the media these days, but that is now the case. It has taken out the human element of how teams make moves these days.
Considering how much Kuzma has immersed himself to the organization with his work ethic and constant improvement, Rob Pelinka for the 756,754th time will not give up his biggest draft diamonds.
In other news, Robert Covington can officially be crossed off the list. Adrian Wojnarowski dropped another bomb on Tuesday night. I guess Lake Show Life was right about Covington not coming to L.A.
ESPN Sources: 4-team trade agreement: Houston: Robert Covington; Atlanta: Clint Capela and Nene; Minnesota: Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez, Evan Turner, ATL 1st round pick via Nets; Denver: Gerald Green, Houston FRP.
