Former Lakers star Kyle Kuzma caught the eye of two ambitious teams, what should the Wizards do?

After a good start to the season, the Washington Wizards are sliding in the rankings with a series of recent bad achievements. In the last 8 games they lost to 7, the last 111-115 defeat to the Chicago Bulls was the fourth consecutive loss.

But contrary to the team's weak record, Kyle Kuzma with 20.6 points per game is still shining, he along with Bradley Beal (22.9) and Kristaps Porzingis (22.1) became the main trio of points for the Wizards.

Since being "abandoned" by the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Russell Westbrook, Kuzma has increasingly improved and proven his talent. Now the 27-year-old is proving himself to be a key player in the Wizards squad.

"From the moment I parted ways with the Lakers and moved to Washington, I felt much more prepared," Kuzma told The Athletic. According to sources, there are at least two teams interested in the future of this player, the Atlanta Hawks and the Phoenix Suns.

On the other hand, Washington Wizards also pays a lot of attention to John Collins of the Hawks, the parties are seriously discussing and it is possible that an exchange will take place.

However, CEO Tommy Sheppard confirmed Kyle Kuzma is a very important player with versatile attacking ability, the Wizards consider the position of the player born in 1995 as irreplaceable.

Despite receiving many winged encouragements, it is not difficult to see the problem is in earnings, Kuzma is only receiving $ 13 million this season, a very low number compared to more than $ 32 million of Bradley Beal or Kristaps Porzingis.

Many reporters believe that Kuzma can terminate the contract and leave the Wizards next season if the salary cannot be increased to at least $ 20 million. This is not too high a figure with what the former Lakers player shows, then he will become a lucrative commodity sought by many teams.
