The Los Angeles Lakers may reportedly try to build a blockbuster offer surrounding forward Kyle Kuzma in an effort to acquire Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.
ESPN's Bobby Marks reported Tuesday the Lakers could package Kuzma, Quinn Cook and the injured DeMarcus Cousins as part of its proposal for Covington, but it's unclear whether that would be enough for Minnesota, which will try to generate a "bidding war" in the coming weeks.
Marks: I believe what L.A. has to offer would fall short of the demands from the Timberwolves (or for a player such as Bogdanovich from the Kings).
Lakers are looking for a big point guard who can switch and shoot. Sounds like a Delon Wright type though I'm sure they'd prefer a more consistent shooter.
Wonder what a Brunson <--> Kuzma swap would do for both teams.
In fact, just for fun ...
Brunson + Jackson --> LAL
Kuzma + Cousins --> DAL
Hmm...
