Kyle Kuzma's Latest Cringeworthy Instagram Post Proves LeBron Will Have Him off the Lakers This Summer

Kyle Kuzma has been involved in trade talks ever since the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him 27th overall in 2017. There was a certain feeling that LeBron James was encouraging the front office to trade all of the Lakers young players to nab Anthony Davis in the 2019 offseason, which ended up happening with Kuzma being the only such player not included in the deal.

But with the way Kuzma's been playing, coupled with his cringeworthy activity on social media, NBA fans can suspect GM LeBron will gave him shipped out of town this summer. I mean, The King cannot be associated with these kinds of Instagram posts...

That's some response. Sure showing up all those haters after putting up your first 20-point game since Jan. 18. Not only that, but Kuzma did it against the Pelicans on 8-of-18 shooting. Sweet?

One thing we do know is that the platinum blonde hair won't look as good without the purple and gold.

It's a miracle that Kuzma is still in Los Angeles. The trade that won LeBron his prized right-hand man sent Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks to New Orleans. The Lakers decided to withhold Kuzma from the deal, which they wouldn't have done at the 2019 trade deadline.

But he once again rose up in trade talks before the 2020 trade deadline, and he survived to play the rest of the season for the Lakers.

It's hard to really say what Kuzma's trade value around the league is. There were rumors the Lakers were looking to trade him in a package for Devin Booker, so obviously LA doesn't know his value either.

Whatever the case, Kuzma bragging about a 20-point performance against the Pelicans on Instagram isn't a look he wants to maintain.
