Kyle Kuzma Shuts Down Rumors About Bitterness Towards LeBron James And The Lakers

After a disappointing season, the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the Playoffs by the Phoenix Suns.

While some of their problems are directly related to the injuries of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers felt that the team does have to undergo certain changes to continue to be seen as a contender no matter what.

One of these changes was acquiring Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards in a trade that sent Kyle Kuzma to the capital, among other players and assets.

While it was rumored that Kuzma was mad at the Lakers and LeBron James for trading him, he now shut down that narrative during an appearance the ‘No Chill Gil’ podcast, and revealed that he still is close to LeBron and the Lakers.

“It’s all love. All love for sure. A couple of days after I got traded, we were hanging out, chilling or whatever.

“I came in as a Laker that’s all I know. It was family from the jump. And even leaving, it was still family. You know getting calls or texts from Jeanie or Rob or equipment managers or people that work the front gate. Everyone is like, ‘Hope you have a successful career. You’re doing this and that.’ So no bitterness, no nothing for sure.”
