Kyle Kuzma has made a habit out of roasting his yellow young Los Angeles Lakers teammates over the first two seasons of his NBA career. Now that Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart will play for the New Orleans Pelicans going forward, though, the rising third-year forward is being forced to find new subjects for his humor. So far, so good.
Amid reports of the Lakers attempting to clear as much cap space as possible to pair LeBron James and Anthony Davis with a third superstar, Kuzma took to social media on Wednesday to continue stoking free agency flames, posting several pairs of eyes, ostensibly suggesting he knows something the public doesn't. After sitting back and basking in the reaction to his first tweet, Kuzma doubled down by quote-tweeting his initial post.

Talk about giving away the game. On the other hand, offseason news has come so fast and furious since the end of the NBA Finals last week that perhaps it bears wondering if Kuzma really is privy to real-time developments others aren't. Either way, certainly don't expect him to stop opaquely engaging with his social media following.
The Lakers agreed last week to send Ball, Ingram, Hart, the No. 4 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft, and two future first-rounders to the Pelicans in exchange for Davis, but the deal can't be completed until July 6. Los Angeles is now reportedly attempting to send the contracts of young players Mo Wagner, Jemerrio Jones, and Isaac Bonga to other teams in the existing Davis trade with the goal of creating additional cap room to bring in another max-level free agent.
