The NBA world took to Twitter to react to these reports.
“Rob pelinka a real dumb ass… shoulda never traded the man,” one fan wrote.
“Bro can I be the GM next because I’ve never heard of some sh-t like this before,” another said.
“Dam you can’t go back to your ex,” another added.
Kuzma of course began his NBA career with the Lakers. The former first-round pick played in LA until the organization sent him to Washington prior to the 2021-22 season.
Kuzma is currently in the midst of his best NBA season, averaging a career-high 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
The Lakers are in need of a midseason spark as they currently sit No. 12 in the West with an 11-16 record. The Wizards are No. 12 in the East with an 11-17 record.
The NBA trade deadline will hit on February 9.
