NBA Champion with the Lakers in 2020, but disappointing afterwards, before being pushed out to bring in Russell Westbrook, Kyle Kuzma could well find the team in which he revealed himself.
Fit with the Wizardswhere he is simply having the best season of his career (21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists on average, 46% in shots, 34% in 3-pts and 69% in shots), the 27-year-old winger would appear actually on the radars of Los Angeles, According to Chris Haynes from Bleacher Report.
It remains to be seen whether the leaders of Washington will separate so easily, while “Kuz” is one of their best elements since the recovery and they would appreciate the trio he forms with Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. When they can play together…
The advantage for the “Purple & Gold” is that the contract they offered two years ago to Kyle Kuzma is attractive (he receives 13 million dollars in 2022/23), even if he risks good to test the market next summer, by exercising its “player option”, to earn more. Both financially and athletically.
