[NOWnews今日新聞] After missing out on a chance to acquire Pascal Siakam, the Golden State Warriors turned their attention to Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma. According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, multiple teams have expressed interest in trading Kuzma, and the Wizards will seek to obtain multiple first-round draft picks from him.
Scotto said Kuzma has attracted interest from multiple teams around the league in exploring trades, and with Pascal Siakam being traded from the Raptors to the Pacers, inquiries regarding the former may increase. “There are reports that the Wizards may trade Kuzma for two first-round picks. League sources told HoopsHype that the Wizards need a first-round pick following the 2024 draft – and a draft pick that is likely to enter the lottery. , would consider giving up their best player.”

“The Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors may all be interested in Kuzma. However, the source added that neither the Grizzlies nor the Spurs want to give up their potential future lottery picks.” According to Scotto, This situation seems to be beneficial to the Warriors. Compared with the Grizzlies and Spurs, they have more urgency to revive their decline immediately.
The 28-year-old Kyle Kuzma averaged 22.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season, shooting 46% from the field and 35% from three-point range. He signed a four-year contract with a total price of US$90 million in 2022, and his annual salary this season is US$25.6 million.
The Wizards have had a poor season this year and are looking to clean up their lineup, but the team is in no rush to part ways with Kuzma. Obviously, the team will remain patient to try to get a good deal price.
What is the current status of the Warriors?

The Warriors’ status has been ups and downs this season. With former main forward Andrew Wiggins not performing well and J.Kuminga still too young, they need to strengthen their wings to improve the team’s size and athleticism.
There were constant rumors that the Warriors were interested in Siakam, but in the end the star forward went to the Pacers. Kuzma may not be as good as the former on the defensive end, but he has better outside abilities and is currently in his prime.
For the Wizards, Kuzma is a luxury item and is no longer the future of the team. The Warriors have a chance to acquire this good player, but it depends on whether they are willing to give up some of the first-round picks they currently have.
