Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma remains to be one of the big names that has been touted as a potential trade candidate on the market. For their part, the Wizards are well aware of the fact that multiple teams are interested in the 28-year-old, which is why they have reportedly slapped Kuz with a hefty price tag ahead of what could be a move heading out of Washington.
Washington Wizards’ Asking Price for Kyle Kuzma
The good news for teams that have interest in Kuzma is that the Wizards are reportedly willing to play ball. The downside, though, is that any team who wants to get their hands on the one-time NBA champ would have to cough up a substantial trade package to make it happen.
According to NBA insider Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Washington’s asking prize has been set to two first-round picks:
“Given the recent trades of Mikal Bridges and Dejounte Murray, it would likely take multiple first-round picks for the Wizards to consider trading Kuzma, league sources told HoopsHype,” Scotto wrote.
Scotto adds that the Sacramento Kings have already called the Wizards about a potential deal, along with several other teams.
Incidentally, one side that is willing to part ways with two first-rounders is the Los Angeles Lakers. General manager Rob Pelinka recently declared their willingness to trade away these assets for the right deal. Could a Hollywood reunion be in the books for Kuzma?
