NBA Insider Says Kyle Kuzma Will Be "Gettable" Ahead Of Trade Deadline And Is Unlikely To Stay With Wizards

Kyle Kuzma is currently becoming one of the most reliable forwards in the league, and he frequently impacts the game for the Washington Wizards with his scoring, rebounding, and defense. As of right now, Kyle Kuzma is averaging 21.8 PPG, 7.6 RPG, and 3.5 APG.

This year, Kyle Kuzma has been featured in trade rumors, and a recent report suggests that it is only a matter of time before he is moved. NBA insider Marc Stein has recently revealed that Kyle Kuzma will likely be "gettable" ahead of this year's trade deadline, adding that it is hard to "envision Kuzma wanting to stay" with the Washington Wizards beyond this year.

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. Based on the rumbles I've heard, I struggle to envision Kuzma wanting to stay in the nation's capital beyond this season.

There is no doubt that a number of competitive teams would likely be interested acquiring Kyle Kuzma for his skillset, even if there is a risk that he ends up leaving at the end of the season. Two-way forwards that can contribute on both ends are extremely valuable in the league today, and we'll see where Kyle Kuzma ends up in the future.

Kyle Kuzma Is The Primary Trade Target For The Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns are a team that clearly needs to make some changes to get back to being a top-tier contending team. A recent report suggested that Kyle Kuzma is their primary target, and could potentially be acquired via a 3-team deal that also involves the Atlanta Hawks.

Can confirm from multiple sources that Kyle Kuzma is indeed the primary target for the Suns in trade discussions. As mentioned below I'm told a deal involving Washington & Atlanta that would send John Collins to the Wizards is the deal being discussed. Suns absolutely want Kuzma!

It remains to be seen if the Phoenix Suns do end up making the move for Kyle Kuzma, or whether they will end up trading for another player in the future. They have recently been linked with Chicago Bulls veteran Alex Caruso as well.

Hopefully, we do see the Phoenix Suns make a move for Kyle Kuzma. He would give the team another solid scorer and defender, and we'll see what they do ahead of the trade deadline.
