Beijing time on December 15th, according to Mingji, the Lakers have already inquired regarding Kuzma from the Wizards and expressed their strong interest in it.
Haynes said that Kuzma has a player option for next season, and he believes that Kuzma will not implement this option and enter the free market to find opportunities. The Wizards like Kuzma very much, especially his combination with Porzingis and Bill. They will not give up Kuzma easily, but they are open to signing a long-term contract with him.
According to previous reports from reporters Eric Pincus and Shams Charania, Kuzma wants to leave the Wizards to find a new contract with an annual salary of 20 million in the big ball market. The Lakers, Kings, Knicks, Eagles and Suns are all interested in him. For the 2023-24 season, Kuzma has a player option worth $13 million.
It is worth mentioning that in a deal in the summer of 2021, the Lakers sent Kuzma, Pope and Harrell to the Wizards for Russell Westbrook.
This season, Kyle Kuzma averaged 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 35 minutes per game.
