Most of the Wizards’ veteran players are currently on the trade block, and the chances are, they’ll all be on different teams by the trade deadline. Kyle Kuzma is sure to be one of the players on the move. With Players like Bilal Coulibaly looking to take on more responsibility offensively and players like Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington looking to accumulate more minutes, the time has come to move on from Kuz.
He has become a complete player here in DC. He matured as a man and as a player here and gave back to the communities of the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and his hometown of Flint, Michigan. A constant professional who became the voice of the locker room, a favorite of the front office, and a fan favorite until recently. Recently, he has shown signs of losing fatigue and pressure from the fanbase to be moved in favor of younger talent and he has served the Wizards and its fanbase loyally but it’s time. The asking price last offseason was two 1st round picks but with his dip in production and the ever-changing landscape of the NBA, a 1st round pick and a young prospect will probably be the best bet. Which teams make the most sense, let’s see.
Trade #1 - Sacramento Kings
Wizards receive - Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles plus a 2026 1st-round pick
Kings receive - Kyle Kuzma
Trade #2 - Cleveland Cavaliers
Wizards receive - Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro plus a 2031 1st-round pick
