In this age of social media and technology, Los Angeles Lakers second-year small forward Kyle Kuzma knows it's nearly impossible to avoid the trade rumors swirling around him and the rest of his teammates.

The Lakers have been aggressively trying to acquire New Orleans Pelicans superstar big man Anthony Davis. Per all the reports which have been released, Kuzma has been involved in the deals.

Kuzma says he and his teammates have to keep playing basketball to the best of their ability, but he admits the noise won't go away until the deadline passes.

Kyle Kuzma is 23-years-old. He's very active on Twitter and is probably getting texts and phone calls from a bevy of people during this time.

Whether the players on the Lakers want to admit it, it's clear as day the Davis trade rumors are affecting the team.

The Lakers got destroyed by the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, losing by a final score of 136-94.

The players looked lethargic. There was no energy on offense or defense. It was almost as if the team just gave up and didn't want to play with each other because they knew the front office, led by Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka, were actively looking to move them in a deal to get Davis.

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 7.

Until then, it appears there's going to be a lot of drama in Los Angeles.
