Internally, however, Kuzma is considered, “a big part of the future” for the Wizards, according to a league source who spoke with HoopsHype. The Wizards believe they’re a more talented team than the record has shown to this point.

There is rising belief leaguewide that Kyle Kuzma is gettable between now and the Feb. 9 trade deadline per @Marc Stein.
Stein says Kuzma is viewed as unlikely to re-sign with Washington when his contract expires this Summer, making a trade increasingly likely. – 6:18 PM

There’s a rising belief leaguewide that Kuzma is gettable between now and the Feb. 9 trade deadline as a result because the Wizards might ultimately be forced to concede that they have to trade him before the buzzer to ensure they don’t lose him for nothing. -via marcstein.substack.com / December 27, 2022
Based on the rumbles I’ve heard, I struggle to envision Kuzma wanting to stay in the nation’s capital beyond this season. -via marcstein.substack.com / December 27, 2022
