The Los Angeles Lakers continue to discuss a trade involving Kyle Kuzma for Buddy Hield, but could also pivot to a sign-and-trade scenario with the San Antonio Spurs for DeMar DeRozan.
The Lakers’ deal with the Sacramento Kings could hinge on Montrezl Harrell picking up his $9.7 million player option for the 21-22 season.
Kuzma previously played for Gregg Popovich as part of the United States’ World Cup team. The Lakers signed Kuzma to a three-year, $40 million extension before the 20-21 season.
