On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium broke the news that the New York Knicks are having “exploratory talks” with the Los Angeles Lakers about Kyle Kuzma. According to NBA TV’s Eric Pincus, there are a few avenues in which the Knicks could acquire Kuzma in a trade.
Said deal would almost definitely involve Marcus Morris going to the Lakers, in which case Los Angeles would have to send more than just Kuzma to New York in order to match salary. In that scenario, the Knicks would need to clear roster space to take on the extra players.
