NBA rumors: Kyle Kuzma suitors, Bucks and Middleton, Ayton’s trade value

NBA rumors: Kyle Kuzma expected to have many suitors

Due to the Bradley Beal trade, the Wizards are no longer competing and will most likely not re-sign Kyle Kuzma this offseason.

Kuzma is expected to decline his player option and head into free agency where he will have many suitors, according to Jake Weinbach of Hoops Habit. It had been expected that he would opt out and sign a huge contract extension with the Wizards. That is now extremely unlikely due to Washington heading towards a rebuild.

Weinbach named the Pacers, Rockets, Spurs, Kings, Jazz, and Lakers as teams that are expected to be interested in the wing.

Of course, the Lakers would be a very interesting fit. They would have to do a sign-and-trade to get Kuzma due to them being over the cap limit.

The Pacers would also be a very interesting fit. They are looking to add a wing player this offseason. While Kuzma is probably less defensively inclined than they are looking for, it is worth a look.

Kuzma would be a very intriguing fit with the rest of the Pacers’ roster. Kuzma would also be a very nice fit with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio. Or pretty much anywhere in the league, Kuzma’s offensive scoring would be fun to watch.
