Beijing time on December 15, according to Mingji, the Lakers have already inquired about 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 Kuzma will not implement this option and enter open market to find opportunities. The Wizards really like Kuzma, especially the combination of him with Porzingis and Bill: they won’t give up on Kuzma easily, but they are willing to sign him to a long-term contract.
According to previous reports from journalists 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 is averaging 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 35 minutes per game.
