Ten-player pitch loops Kuzma to LA, Duren to Milwaukee

A fan-made trade proposal on Fanspo would send Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims to the Lakers for Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht and Jaden Hardy.

The deal is built around Jalen Duren going to Milwaukee in a sign-and-trade, with Tyler Herro and Myles Turner heading to Detroit along with a 2031 Miami first-round pick. The pitch projects only a modest one-win bump for the Lakers, with Detroit and Milwaukee coming away with the bigger upgrades.

Herro MIL → DET | Duren DET → MIL | Kuzma MIL → LAL
