Kyle Kuzma is 28 yrs old. By the time our young players mature he will be on the decline . Best to get the maximum trade value now.

@Larry34354 2 месяца назад

Better to move early than too late. Was lucky to get what we got for Beal because it was a year or two too late.

@catanace1741 2 месяца назад

Beal is not a bad player, but what he did this season with the Suns proves that he was WAY overrated in Washington, and really not worth the insane contract he got from the Wizards.

@perfectfindings 2 месяца назад

No disrespect to Kuz, I dont think we need to wait for the best deal.... we need to trade him ASAP.... the front office once again looks serious for this rebuild and in my opinion, you cannot rebuild with such a player... yes wins are important in a rebuild and was a good thing that Kuz was here this year, but since allot of players emerged, that can be much more efficient, he needs to be let go, plus brandon... you said it plenty of times that efficiency is an issue - wiz will always be a loosing team if he is the no. 1 option Regarding his statements of making players around him better..... that just being polotical... how can he di that ? By making his shot to give other higher assists ? .... na... players wont be developed correctly if he is on the team and it is what it is..... I would rather trust front office in their eevelopment of 2nd rouders than waiting for a dellusional 2 1st round pick deal.... not gonna happen. Love from Israel. Go Deni

I've never liked his game/performance as a Wizard. Trade him for sure, if he has value on the market. He is not a corner stone player. We don't have one, so everyone is tradable, from my perspective.

@leelaor6201 2 месяца назад

Kuzma is very talented but needs some coach restrictions which was not existing for him at the wizards and that's a fact!... His type of play is not a good example for young players that needs to be developed, defense and sharing the ball are the basics for healthy foundation and building the team DNA!... Kuzma trade will only going to benefit the Wizards!

@stewartoflaherty5985 2 месяца назад

I just don't want to see him traded, then draft a replacement that they hope develops into the player Kuzma already is and ended up paying him more to stay in place treading water

@DB-cg4vs 2 месяца назад

Bruh . Kuzma isn't that good he just get to shoot the ball àlot that makes his stats look better than it is. It's empty numbers as a number 1/2

@Big_Nike007 2 месяца назад

With kuzma being a leader we have the second pick of the draft I promise you we can accomplish that without him

@user-sl1xk5jt3m 2 месяца назад

Kuz is a good players but he isn't a franchise star (not even close to allstar). You need to hope to choose this star and it could be in any pick (Jokic is 41, Giannis is 15, SGA is 11) and develope him properly. Anyway the Wizards already have 2 good forwards that can be in Kuzma level (maybe even higher), they just need to get the chance.

@fritzfoxwell4538 2 месяца назад

yes

@paulmccannon642 2 месяца назад

Keep Kuzma, and draft a young Big Man with some weight and fundamentals..what’s disappointing is that the young man, Davis hasn’t been waste of a pick! In closing the wizards are just a farm team for the NBA, the management doesn’t except to nothing more than a stat line unfortunately!

@justmyopinion8395 Месяц назад

Horrible plan. That won’t even make them a borderline play-in team.

Getting Marvin Bagley III.

@Kingsfan 2 месяца назад

Does Harrison Barnes and davion Mitchell move the needle for u guys, Barnes would be a great locker room guy for ur young guys and his numbers were only down this year by giving Keegan more shots. Idk about two first round picks tho

@EthanRasmussen 2 месяца назад

Can we trade for Kuminga, Okongwu or Kessler Walker?

@LockedOnWizards Месяц назад

I'd love Kuminga.

@pinkdifferent5533 Месяц назад

If Kuz was smart, he was already an Allstar. but he isn't efficient dew to bad shots and bad playes. + he holds for too many seconds and thinks what to do, letting the defense time to arrange. and then going 1 on 3 or something at the end of the clock. while when he got the ball with quick action he could have been 1on1 with enough time to make a better shot.

@TF-cg2fd Месяц назад

He opened that restaurant in nova thinking that would save him lol

@vannegrojones4504 2 месяца назад

You're doing a great job bro, & thank you for your service!! I'm retired Air Force myself. Anyway, IF we trade Kuz, it would HAVE to either be for Detroit's #5, or for next year 1st rounder. I do not want another pick in this year's weak ass draft!!

@LockedOnWizards Месяц назад

@steveo2078 2 месяца назад

Hahaha no way

@catanace1741 2 месяца назад

just a top fifteen pick is not enough for a player like Kuzma. I don't like him as a first option, but he's a guy who can make the difference for a contender team like OKC as their third guy. He's worth at least a top 8 pick, or two lower first round picks. Perhaps Giddy and the 12 pick from OKC.

@miltonwilliams7839 2 месяца назад

Only if you can get a midrange pick so we can draft Zack Edey..

@samuelrimmer5381 2 месяца назад

I like kuzma, i want them to draft topic and edey. I see a lineup of topic, coulibaly, avdia, kuzma, and edey, with poole, kispert, bagely, shamet, and jones from the bench, and trade jones expiring for picks

@hamiltopia5211 2 месяца назад

Edey will never be a starting caliber center in the nba. If we trade back up into the lottery we should take kelel ware or yves missi, they’re much more athletic and more versatile, plus they’re not complete liability’s in the pick and roll

@user-fj2ru6ep7g 2 месяца назад

poole, kispert, bagley, shamet and jones? JP is a handball guy and TJ is the same. How can u make them work? at a PG position JP is good, he showed it because it is the position were he feel comfortable. Just trust the process, it may take some time. Just like OKC for instance.

@ubonwang1485 Месяц назад

Very stupid, no word to say 😐just let Poole cook for a year and trade him to contender, and they can do whatever they want. Let 18 yrs rookie who cannot shoot run the offense. This is just madness.

@henry7486 2 месяца назад

I tried to make a mock trade, it might not be very good idk. Wizards receive: Devonte Graham, Thomas Bryant, 2024 #10 Pick (via SAN) Heat receive: Kyle Kuzma Spurs receive: Duncan Robinson, 2024 #15 Pick (via MIA), 2026 2nd Round Pick (via LAL) Explanation: Wizards get two expiring contracts and immediate cap relief of $10.8M. They’ll get a total of $23.5M worth of cap space within the 2025 off-season by shedding Kyle Kuzma’s contract. However, most importantly they get the #10 Pick to go along with the #2 Pick that they already have. They could draft Risarche along with Reed Shepphard, Clingan, Castle, etc. As for the Heat, they trade Duncan Robinson, #15 Pick and a 2026 2nd Round (via LAL) for Kyle Kuzma. They now have a “Big 4” of; Herro, Butler, Kuzma and Adebayo - whilst retaining depth with Rozier, Jaquez, Martin, Highsmith, Love, Jovic, etc. When it comes to San Antonio, they trade down with Devonte Graham and the #10 Pick for the #15 Pick, an elite shooter in Duncan Robinson as well as a 2026 2nd Round Pick via LAL. They trade down as they aim to get Zach Edey to form a Twin Towers duo with Victor Wembanyama and they want a few extra assets in Duncan Robinson and a 2nd Round Pick in 2026 from the Lakers which could actually be quite valuable if LeBron leaves in free agency.
