[Kuzma] “Wish I would’ve gotten the fairer end of the stick with my (Lakers) role and how much I sacrificed… One night, you get 10 shots. The next night, they just need you to rebound. The next night, you get 15 minutes… it bothered me that I never got the chance to do what I’m doing now, play me.”

Do not trade for Kuzma. He’s talking like a flight risk.
You’re a role player
he just wants to chuck shots and get paid not worth it. he shoots the same amount of shots per game as AD
lmao shut up kuz. be happy you got a ring and have fun with the empty stat padding role you have now
Ah I’ve seen this before with our 100 million dollar man, I’m a starter Dennis Schroeder a few season ago. Today Dennis is a humble man and accepted the reality.
“Bench players talking like starters I hate it”- Drake
He had every opportunity to be that 3rd star and he was just way too inconsistent, that’s when his role started to shrink
Role players talking like starters.
Well.
Thats because the only way you can have a player like Kuz in a serious team that wants to content is him being the 3rd or 4th option.
A team with Kuzma as 2nd option unless you pair him up with Peak LeBron/Kobe/Harden/Luka etc, will be a lottery team.
Kuz has been playing well. But Wizard have the worst record in the league in the last 10 odd games stretch.
Not a great guy for the team.
I literally remember defending Kuz summer 2021 and everyone kept saying he trash he trash he belongs in China.
Kuzma’s playoff stats with the Lakers: 9/3/1 on 40/28/76 splits
I think if he came back he’d get more love especially if he starts next to AD.
If we trade for Kuzma, we’re not going to get the Wizards version
Kuz literally wasn’t impacting during the playoffs for both years he was with us 😭. I fell like Keiff was better that time especially that rockets series lol
He would help at this moment for sure tho
Just be happy you got a ring while playing like dogshit in the playoffs.
The Wizards are on a 8 game losing streak and this is what he cares about. He had his year averaging 19 in LA before the title.
It got you a ring didn’t it?
Sadly wings like him will never get to really play like their “true” selves when you are playing behind guys like LeBron and AD.
You just got to play your role because you are not gonna take the ball out of those 2 guys’ hands. He got his reward of a ring by doing that.
Why we’re entertaining a Kuz comeback is dumb as hell.
Read beyond the headline, he has a lot of positive things to say about the Lakers in this interview.
Now everyone is gonna act like they hate kuzma again
Not wrong. They asked him to do a different thing every year the whole time this fan base was trashing him while sacrificing and overhauling his game every summer
Did he just compare his previous role on a contending team vs his role now? Major red flags for no reason. My dude got a shoe deal when you know damn well he didn’t deserve it. Bro needs to relax
You never got the chance because you shit your fuckin pants in any meaningful game. The only time you’ve looked like a decent player in your entire career are on losing teams in games no one gives a shit about. Fuck off
Kuz can’t shoot 3’s, we don’t need him
Lyle Luzma is forever California Dreaming, they don’t want you man.
Y’all so quick to switch up on Kuz, AGAIN
Somebody need to tell him that Vogel is gone. I swear if he pulls half of the shit he is used to do last time he was here, Ham will put him so far on the bench he’ll need gogles to see the games.
He thinks he’s a star and not a role player. And he’s a role player who doesn’t understand his role. Delusion level 100.
This dude is STILL complaining. And we want him back? He’s just going to keep complaining.
The wizards are terrible tho
Kuz call me when you lead a team to a title, as the number one option.
I KNOW THE FASHION NOVA MODEL NOT TALKING ABOUT ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES MAN YOU WAS ON THE RUNWAY MORE THAN YOU WERE IN THE GYM HERE
