The Los Angeles Lakers finally parted ways with the last of their young core after including Kyle Kuzma in the trade package for Russell Westbrook.
Kuzma was the longest-tenured player on the team prior to his departure. He played an integral role in helping to turn the franchise around en route to securing a title during an unprecedented 2019-2020 campaign.
The former 27th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft played with his fair share of high-profile teammates as a result of joining the Purple and Gold to start his career. So it may come as a bit of a surprise to see there was one that was head and shoulders above them all.
