With Anthony Davis on the bench for several more weeks to come, LeBron James pretty much has to take care of the Los Angeles Lakers’ aspirations of making the playoffs. This is just why NBA Analyst Jason Timpf feels that the 17-time NBA Champions should trade Kyle Kuzma or Bojan Bogdanovic – two in-form players to be a part of this team as soon as possible.
While King James is trying to do everything he can, a 3-Point shooter could very well end the shooting voids of this team. Given that the LA Lakers need a major change in direction, and they cannot depend upon LeBron James at every point in every game to come, Timpf feels Kuzma or Bogdanovic could be the ideal players to be brought in at this time.
Kuzma has already played alongside LeBron James, and can perfectly fit into the Lakers’ system since he has groomed himself in the same manner. Moreover, Kyle Kuzma is in good form with the Washington Wizards, but the Lakers could be an ideal spot for him to be a part of a championship-caliber team.
Can Kyle Kuzma or Bojan Bogdanovic pay alongside LeBron James to fix Lakers’ shooting woes?
When Timpf appeared on the ‘Game Theory Podcast,’ he stated, “When you try to put guys in the right toles, things will even out. I am a big believer that a couple of moves are on the periphery. For starters, it will give LeBron a fighting chance. But then when Anthony Davis comes back, everything is in place.
“I feel Kyle Kuzma fromm the Washington Wizards. He was awesome for LA the last time. He directly deals with the size issue at the perimeter and has a natural cutting chemistry with LeBron.”
