The Washington Wizards are struggling in the 2024-25 NBA season. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a disappointing record of only four wins and 21 losses. As a result of this difficult situation, discussions about potential trades for their standout player, Kyle Kuzma, have noticeably increased.
As the trade deadline approaches on February 6, 2025, excitement is growing among fans who are speculating about Kuzma’s potential destination. Recently, Sam Amick and Anthony Slater from The Athletic reported that the Sacramento Kings are again considering Kuzma as a possible target.
“There are some familiar names who appear to be back on their radar, league sources said. Among them: Portland’s Jerami Grant, Utah’s John Collins or Washington’s Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma. Brooklyn’s Cam Johnson is known to be of significant interest, as is — to a lesser degree — the Nets’ Dorian Finney-Smith,” Via Sam Amick and Anthony Slater of the Athletic.
