The Los Angeles Times reports that the contract is for three years for a total amount of about 40 million US dollars (32.8 million euros). After the second season, Kuzma will have the opportunity to decide his own destiny, ie to stay or not to stay in the “Lakers”.
Kuzma, 25, became a limited free agent this off-season.
“The next lunch costs you,” club star Lebron James wrote on his Twitter profile on the Lakers.
The number 27 of the 2017 draft Kuzma last season stood out in the “Lakers” team with an average of 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds. He left the field most often from the reserve bench, but played an important role in the attack.
Kuzma is still known in the league as a player with a not very stable throw. He has completed three-point shots with 30.8% accuracy in the last two seasons, but he has put in a lot of defensive play, as well as been able to diversify his attack arsenal.
Before the upcoming season, he started four test matches in the starting line-up, with an average of 17.5 points and 41.7% accuracy in long-range shots.
The Lakers defeated the Miami Heat 4-2 in the finals last season to four.
The new NBA season will begin on Tuesday.
