During this Free Agency 2023, the Kyle Kuzma file will be one to watch. The boy will be looking to rack up some cash this summer, but the Wizards aren’t necessarily keen on the idea of giving him the amount of money he wants. On the side of the Kings, we watch these negotiations out of the corner of our eyes to be able to recover the file afterwards if everything goes wrong in the capital. Decryption.
It looks like something bad happened in the US capital, the Wizards franchise imploded. The trades of Kristaps Porzingis and especially Bradley Beal mark the end of an era, Washington now wants to rebuild itself with new players, if possible not too expensive. For his part, Kyle Kuzma is coming out of a more than convincing season with more than 20 points on average and intends to seek the best possible contract this summer. He’s reportedly aiming for an annual pay close to $30 million, but the Wizards looking to start a new chapter wouldn’t afford to do so with such a large salary to pay per season.
🚨 Complicated situation for Kyle Kuzma.
While he was thinking of taking a big contract in Washington, the Wizards changed direction.
And the other teams? Other players in his position will be preferred.

The Kuz would therefore be on the start, and the Kings would be in the starting blocks to recover the 3-4 position, according to Jake Fisher from Yahoo Sports.

On the California side, Kuz’s arrival makes sense if we follow all the recent events. Come on, we’re taking you to the police file. It all started on Draft night, when the Kings traded Richaun Holmes to the Mavs for a Kinder Bueno bought at a highway rest area. That boosted Sacramento’s cap space to nearly $36 million for this summer, a nice envelope to pick someone up in early July. One of the other questions for the franchise is the Harrison Barnes case. Does he leave? Does he stay? This is the question to answer before signing the Kuz. Also, note that this isn’t the first time Kyle Kuzma’s name has been associated with the Kings. While still at the Lakers in 2021, the idea of a trade between him and Buddy Hield was more than likely before LA sent him to Washington in the Russell Westbrook deal. Is this time the right one between Kuz and Sacto?
