Los Angeles Lakers: Using Kyle Kuzma to Get Spencer Dinwiddie

Maybe a stretch of playoff heroics would change this, but Kyle Kuzma continues to look out of place—or at least not ideally utilized—on a win-now roster with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Kuzma needs minutes and touches to realize his massive potential, and he has seen both sliced since Davis’ arrival.

But Kuzma should still hold major interest to rebuilders as a versatile 6’8″ forward with a deep bag of scoring tricks. The problem is most rebuilders won’t have the kind of win-now help the Lakers want. That might open the door to a three-team exchange where Kuzma heads to the Wizards (along with more), Bradley Beal goes to Brooklyn and L.A. native (and longtime Lakers fan) Spencer Dinwiddie comes home.

Dubbed an “ideal target” by B/R’s Eric Pincus, Dinwiddie addresses a need for non-LeBron shot creation and is good enough on the ball to run the offense in relief of the stars. It would help if Dinwiddie were a bit more accurate with his three-ball (career 31.8 percent), but his willingness to fire (5.7 attempts since the start of 2017-18) might be enough to maintain optimal spacing.
