Probable free-agent this summer, Kyle Kuzma might be one of the rare pearls of the Free Agency 2023. The Wizards winger continues to evolve in all areas of the game, which might attract many franchises moving the scorer from Washington.
Who wants Kyle Kuzma on his team?
Full of talent, and this since his arrival in the NBA, “Kuz” is enjoying himself at the Wizards and the 2022-23 season follows the good progress of the 2021-22 episode. We saw a Kuzma clutch last year, putting Washington on its shoulders and making progress in various aspects of the game, but it’s back this year since the performances are there and the hype is at its peak: almost 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on average, it’s not talk.
If his volume of shots is still very high, Kyle has regained his health following a complicated end of the course on the Lakers side. The transfer once morest Russell Westbrook has been good for the winger, who is ideally positioned a few months from his free agency. Indeed, if he contractually has a player option at $13 million, Kyle should turn it down and take advantage of his rating in the player market.
This is confirmed by Eric Pincus from Bleacher Reportin his latest paper.

The 27-year-old Kyle Kuzma is precisely the kind of player many rebuilding teams would want in the next Free Agency. He might be one of the 5 most wanted players on the market this summer, at worst one of the 10 players. “He wants to leave,” said an inside NBA source. “He’s looking to get a contract around 20 million a season and in a big market, if not with a team chasing the title.”
Bluff ou pas bluff ?
The no bluff is that Kuzma will be very desired and might ask for a lot on the market, he who was not a high Draft choice initially (27th in 2017).
The potential bluff is a departure from Washington knowing that he already feels good there. Problem for Wizards fans, between the contract of Bradley Beal and that of Kristaps Porzingis, not sure that the franchise will be able to offer a large suitcase of greenbacks to Kyle, who would then take good minutes and a good contract elsewhere.
What to create transfer rumors at the trade deadline of February 9? If Washington doesn’t want to lose Kuzma to Peanuts, the gossip will only get louder…
