Breaking News: Kyle Kuzma Has make up his decision before Deadline Deal…
The Washington Wizards are reportedly in no hurry to trade Kyle Kuzma.
“Given Kuzma’s descending contract, there’s no immediate urgency for the Wizards to part with their leading scorer, given he’ll retain his value going forward and is considered a positive asset by rival executives,” Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported.
Scotto noted Washington “would need future first-round picks beyond the 2024 draft with the potential to become lottery picks to consider parting with their best player.”
That’s not a surprising position for the Wizards.
While they are 7-32 and already playing out the string on a lost season, Kuzma is under contract through the 2026-27 season. He is making $25.6 million in base salary this season before that number drops to $23.5 million in 2024-25, $21.5 million in 2025-26 and $19.4 million in 2026-27.
