Los Angeles Lakers second-year small forward Kyle Kuzma is considering signing with Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, according to Darren Heitner of Heitner Legal.
Paul represents Kuzma's teammates LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and just signed New Orleans Pelicans superstar power forward Anthony Davis.
Kuzma is currently represented by Zach Kurtin of Priority Sports and Entertainment.
Source tells me that Kyle Kuzma is also considering a switch to agent Rich Paul, who reps the likes of LeBron James & now Anthony Davis.

Some other notable clients of Rich Paul are Philadelphia 76ers star point-forward Ben Simmons, Washington Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall, Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe, and Cleveland Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson and shooting guard J.R. Smith.
During his rookie campaign last season, Kyle Kuzma turned a lot of heads after being drafted with the 27th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He averaged 16.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. The 23-year-old shot 45.0 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from 3, 70.7 percent from the free-throw line, and was named to the All-Rookie first team.
Kuzma will make $1.7 million this season. He has a club option for the 2019-20 season and 2020-21 season. The Lakers believe Kuzma will be a star in the league very soon. When they were trying to acquire Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs earlier in the summer, Los Angeles didn't include Kuzma in any trade talks.
