Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[mvossman]

Stein reporting Mavs are one of the teams who have checked in with Wizards regarding Kuzma:

The Mavericks, league sources say, are
among the teams that have inquired with
Washington about its willingness to part
with forward Kyle Kuzma.
The Wizards, sources say, want at least two
first-round picks for Kuzma. And the
implication is they will be seeking higher
quality picks than Toronto received from
Indiana in the Siakam trade; two of the three
future first-rounders sent to the Raptors by
Indiana are from the oft-maligned 2024 draft
this June. “If we can get a big who can also create off the dribble, that'd be a plus," Cuban said adding that the player would preferably
stand at least 6-foot-8.
Kuzma obviously fits that description, but
Dallas has only one available first-round
pick to trade (in 2027). The Mavericks also
know that the Wizards' determination to
acquire as many future firsts as possible is
not going away; sources say Washington
established considerable asking prices
months ago when Dallas made past
inquiries on the in-demand Gafford as well
as Deni Avdija

I hope the Wizards save the Mavs from themselves.
