The Washington Wizards currently hold a 3-19 record, which means they might be stripped down for parts before the upcoming NBA trade deadline.
One of the players they may part ways with is Kyle Kuzma, who has been with the team for four years.
According to Brett Siegel, via NBACentral, multiple teams are curious about signing Kuzma.
Siegel reports that the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Detroit Pistons are among the teams that are showing interest in Kuzma.

“Believe it or not, Kuzma actually holds a strong market as a secondary player who has proven to be able to lead his team’s offensive attack at times. The Warriors, Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Detroit Pistons have all been linked to Kuzma recently, sources said.”
Despite being a starter in all 12 of his games this season, Kuzma’s output has dipped a bit.
He is producing 15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, down from 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists last season.
Even with that development, Kuzma is drawing curiosity from multiple teams.
More importantly, his Wizards are making it clear that they are willing to make deals about several of their players.
Kuzma could be one of multiple stars who leave DC in the upcoming weeks as the Wizards look to receive other talent and a slew of draft picks to improve their chances in the future.
Each of the teams listed could use Kuzma’s brand of sharpshooting offense, even if he’s been having some problems this season.
Which front office will be willing to put up the best deal in exchange for him?
