Kyle Kuzma is now a free agent
ESPN Sources: As expected, Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has declined his $13 million player option and become a free agent. Kuzma will be one of the marketplace’s most prominent players. A return to Washington on a new deal remains a possibility.

Before anyone makes there usual jokes, I’d be down to have him back on the right contract, depth is always nice in this league

Assuming we bring back our own FA, we’d only be able to offer him the 11.2 exception. Doubt he would take that- but I hope he gets a nice payday from someone
I honestly felt bad for Kuz when he left. He was actually a very solid piece on our team for the first couple of years he was here.
Declined his 13 million dollar option soooo
Winnie Harlow would appreciate him being back in LA full time
he won’t be back in Washington they want to tank.
Lakers should do a sign and Trade for him.
Beasley, Bamba and #47 pick for Kuzma. Will still have enough room to re-sign Reaves and Hachimura. And to get CP3 on the Vet Min. TPMLE for Schroder.
CP3, Reaves, Kuzma, LeBron, AD (starters)
Schroder, Josh Richardson, Vando, Hachimura, Thompson (bench)
no thanks

Oh ok
Clippers love ex Lakers, he can go there.
I’ll take him for least amt possible…off the bench
Considering how much he’s improved from when he last played w us, he’d be a big steal fr
Probably can’t bring him back, I hope he gets paid!

Congrats to him for putting in the work to get better and congrats on escaping the never ending dumpster fire known as the Washington Wizards.
Kuz is a real one but pass. He’s still the guy we traded 2 years ago. Average shooter, average defender, plenty of low iq plays.
This guy sucks. Zip em back up
So
Kuz should just become a fashion mogul. If Meghan Markle can ink a $20 million deal with Dior why can’t he do that with Gucci?
I like Kuzma and would welcome him back but I would imagine he’s about to get that first “holy cow” level contract and congrats to him.
