Lakers shift focus from Kuzma to new trade targets as roster plans evolve

The Los Angeles Lakers have decided not to trade for Kyle Kuzma, focusing instead on acquiring new players like Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. Kuzma, currently with the Washington Wizards, has struggled this season. The Lakers are also looking into other trade options, including Lonzo Ball, as they aim to strengthen their roster ahead of the February trade deadline. This marks a shift in strategy from pursuing Kuzma.
