Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was one of many NBA players to react to Thursday's blockbuster trade between the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks that included Kristaps Porzingis.

With the NBA trade deadline only a week away, the Knicks figured they would go ahead and make one of the biggest trades of the season by dealing Porzingis to Dallas.

Naturally, the deal caught a lot of people off caught guard since it was just reported earlier in the day that Porzingis had met with Knicks officials to express his concern with the state of the franchise.

Shortly after that, he was dealt to the Mavs, and it had Kuzma reacting just like a lot of other people around the NBA.

Of course, Kuzma also finds himself in the middle of trade speculation as well, with the Lakers expected to be the frontrunner to land New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis at some point in the future.

Should that happen via trade, it's been rumored that Kuzma would be a part of the deal, which may not exactly be thrilling to Lakers fans given how well he has played this season.

Either way, it's clear that NBA trade season is officially here.
