Kyle Kuzma, Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards are coming off an excellent showing in the 2024 NBA Draft. While they've made a questionable move of two in free agency thus far, they could continue their hot streak by finding the right trade for Kyle Kuzma. As a player that doesn't fit their timeline, it would make sense for the Wizards to try to trade him at some point soon. There may not be a better opportunity for the Wizards to make it happen than this offseason.

According to a recent report, the asking price for Kuzma remains high. But there should be plenty of interest from teams looking for another star-level supporting piece heading into the start of next season. With the Wizards still in the very early stages of a rebuild, it would be shocking if they didn't at least explore the trade market for Kuzma in the next couple of months.

Whether they find a landing spot for the offensive-minded forward remains to be seen. However, teams like the Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, and others could all be interested in acquiring Kuzma before next season.
