Star Forward Kyle Kuzma Declines Option, Seeks $30M Deal

Kyle Kuzma has declined his $13 million player option with the Washington Wizards for next season, making him a free agent.
Kuzma is coming off the highest-scoring season of his six-year career, averaging 21.2 points for the Wizards.
Kuzma is expected to be one of the most prominent players in the marketplace and is eyeing $30 million annually on his next contract.
The Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks are among the teams interested in Kuzma.
Kuzma expressed openness to remaining with the Wizards, but it seems unlikely given the team's full-scale rebuild.
