Kyle Kuzma Trade Rumors: Washington Wizards Keen On Retaining Their 'Big 3'

Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal were the big names who were expected to be traded before the deadline, but it does appear that the Wizards have no intention of doing away with the two, including big man Kristaps Porzingis.

According to The Washington Post's Ava Wallace, President, and General Manager Tommy Sheppard is keen to have his three stars on the side.

heppard’s front office believes the team is more talented than it has been in years past — something its record does not reflect, in part because of a steady stream of injuries. Washington’s core trio of Beal, Porzingis and Kuzma have only played 23 games together largely because of Beal’s three extended absences because of either injury or illness. But injuries don’t account for all of the team’s shortcomings — they are 11-12 when the trio play together.

The loss to the Nets puts the Wizards at 24-28, and 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. While Kuzma has been outstanding for the side averaging 21.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists, the team still has some work to do if they intend to make the postseason.

Sheppard's comments indicate that Kuzma will finish the season as a Wizard and that comes as good news for the side that's gunning for a playoff spot.
