Word around the league is this is going to end up as a 3-way trade with the Kings and/or a third team and the Lakers are going to end up with both Westbrook and Hield.
Notice that the Wizards say the player they’re keeping is KCP but they’re willing to move Kuzma and Harrell, the two players the Lakers need to get Buddy Hield. Coincidence? Probably not.
Lakers may have to give the Wizards another player to get them to release Kuzma and Harrell to go to the Kings for Buddy. Maybe they give the Wizards Caruso or THT.
Lakers desperately need shooting and the luxury tax bill is going to be over $75 million. Hield is a must at the two and another gunner at the three for the Russ/LeBron/AD lineup to work.
