Can We Work Another Trade with Denver?

Not exactly as you say it, but yea I believe Lindsey wanted Kuzma and I suspect Lakers figured that out and it influenced their decision to draft him.

the lakers had him in for workouts too. couldve sold himself there.

Hmm. I'm interested in knowing how you think they could have figured that out. It's not like the Jazz didn't bring in a lot of people or that there wasn't an obvious reason to bring him in (Utah connection). I'm as impressed with Lindsey as the next guy, but I have no way of knowing that he would have taken Kuzma if he'd been available. It seems like an even bigger stretch to think that the Lakers, instead of doing their own research on players, are somehow stealing signs from the Jazz. The bottom line, to me, is that if anyone (Lindsey included) had known that Kuzma was going to be as good as he has turned out to be, they would have figured out a way to take him earlier.
 
I wonder what Tomic's draft rights would fetch us from them.
