"Kuzma was the Mavericks’ top trade deadline target. The Wizards wanted two first-round picks in any Kuzma deal. When the teams’ Kuzma talks fizzled, they pivoted to a Daniel Gafford-to-Dallas trade that netted Washington a first-round pick in the upcoming June draft via Oklahoma City."
Carry on.
I am just guessing but I would guess it was two firsts, Williams, Holmes for Kizma and Gafford. Two firsts for Kuzma I don’t think the Wizards GM turns that down or thinks of that offer as below value imo. I think those two firsts would have brought both. That is just a guess though.
