Los Angeles Lakers: The two reasons why Kyle Kuzma is tradable

Kyle Kuzma is the one part of the young core that the Los Angeles Lakers hung onto, however, if the price is right, Kuzma is absolutely tradable.

TheLos Angeles Lakerstraded practically the entire young core in the offseason to accomplish one thing: getAnthony Davisto Los Angeles to giveLeBron Jamesa superstar teammate that he can win the NBA Championship with.

Lonzo Ball,Brandon IngramandJosh Hartwere the trio of players that were sent to New Orleans alongside a slew of future draft picks. The front office also parted ways with other young players, such asMoritz Wagner, to make room for Davis.

The one player that the Lakers seemed convinced to hold onto wasKyle Kuzma. Kuzma has already far exceeded draft expectations with his first two great seasons and was viewed as the third option on a title-contending team heading into season.

As the trade deadline looms the speculation of the Lakers making a move, and Kuzma being part of that move, have grown. Right now it is nothing more than speculation, as there have been no concrete reports of the Lakers working on any sort of trade that involves Kuzma.

However, despite how talented Kuzma is, Laker fans should not be clinging on too much to Kuzma. While he is a fan-favorite, the third-year forward is absolutely tradable at the deadline this year, if the Lakers get a fair return, of course.

The team should not be out shopping Kuzma, but there are two primary reasons why the Lakers and the fans should be okay with trading Kyle Kuzma if the right package comes along.
