Following the lucrative contract extension, Kuzma commented about his future with the Lakers. The power forward branded the extension to be a win-win for both the parties involved.

“I’ve got a great situation, having a 2+1 player option and just being able to align myself with those guys and also just continue to learn and develop as a player and a human,” Kuzma said.

“To have an opportunity to be in a championship window, to continue to win a championship, until my deal is up when I’m into my prime. It’s a win-win.” he concluded

He also claimed that he is unsure of his role in the team with the roster changes during the offseason.

According to his new contract, Kuzma will earn $13.3 million per year. He averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game last season shooting 43.6% from the field. He averaged 10 points this postseason, shooting 31.3% from the three-point range.
