Mavericks Eyeing Wizards' Kyle Kuzma Ahead of Trade Deadline

Kuzma's Scoring Prowess Draws Interest, But Wizards' Demand for First-Round Picks Could Prove Challenging

Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in acquiring Washington Wizards' forward Kyle Kuzma ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
Kuzma, currently in the first season of a four-year, $90M contract, is averaging over 21 points per game for the second straight season.
Wizards are seeking at least two first-round picks for Kuzma, a demand that may be challenging for the Mavericks due to their existing obligations to other teams.
Sacramento Kings have also shown interest in Kuzma, increasing the competition for his acquisition.
Kuzma's scoring ability and versatility are seen as a potential complement to Mavericks' stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
