I agree with you that these proposed offers are way overvaluing him.
FWIW, BR's player evaluation metrics say this re Kuzma
1 VORP? 0.2 (0 is a rando off the street, he is ranked 193rd in the NBA)
2 Win Shares? Below 0 (iow, he makes a team worse when he plays)
3 +/- ? Significant negative on both offense and defense
Kuzma is the big name, overpriced, to avoid. Gafford/Avdija are the only players you should target off that team. Offer matching minimal salary plus a 2nd for each (something like Holmes-Curry, although not sure that is quite enough outgoing matching salary) and leave Kuzma for someone else.
