Kyle Kuzma is having a breakout year with the Washington Wizards, and it is clear that the increased role has helped him showcase everything in his game. This season, Kyle Kuzma is averaging 21.7 PPG, 7.6 RPG, and 4.0 APG.
There is no doubt that Kyle Kuzma’s play has resulted in some trade interest for the forward. Kuzma has one more year left on his deal, but it is a player option. There have been some reports that have suggested that Kyle Kuzma is unlikely to stay with the Washington Wizards.
A recent report from Josh Buckhalter of Heavy revealed that the Chicago Bulls are a team that is interested in Kyle Kuzma. The report also noted that the Chicago Bulls are looking to improve their defense in a trade.
“Definitely an interest there,” sources tell Heavy Sports NBA insider Sean Deveney. “But a lot of teams do. The Wizards have been checking the market on Kuzma, and he has been playing well. His contract now, it is pretty good, even a bargain with how he is producing… but they don’t want to go over the tax, so that is a concern.”
“They’re looking for a little more defense if they are to make a trade,” the exec concedes, “but Kuzma makes some sense for them.”
It remains to be seen if the Chicago Bulls do end up making a trade for Kyle Kuzma. Though many people have suggested that the team will rebuild and trade their stars, they could easily go the other direction to try and improve even further and make the playoffs.
There Are Teams That Are Interested In Alex Caruso
If the Chicago Bulls do decide to blow things up, one of the players that could command trade interest is Alex Caruso. A previous report revealed that the Knicks could be a team that makes a run at him.
“The defensive-minded guard would be a plug-and-play reserve — and closer — for virtually any contender or team serious about making a playoff push. Golden State has been one prominently mentioned rumor. The Knicks, who have been scouting the Bulls closely of late, are another team on which to keep an eye.”
There’s no doubt that Alex Caruso will fit well in Tom Thibodeau’s defense-oriented system, and he will likely be the backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson. It’ll be interesting to see what Caruso’s value is, and perhaps the Bulls could receive a young prospect or a solid pick in return for the veteran.
Hopefully, though, we see the Chicago Bulls figure things out in the future. Their interest in Kyle Kuzma suggests they could still try to win immediately, and we’ll see how they do ahead of the trade deadline.
