Kyle Kuzma – Washington Wizards
Kyle Kuzma has been a player brought up in trade talks with the Pacers in the past and while they have declined offers that included him previously, Kuzma is certainly the type of talent this team needs at the forward positions.
In Los Angeles, Kyle Kuzma struggled with Anthony Davis on the roster, but prior to him joining the team, Kuzma was a key scoring weapon and he is proving to be so once again this season in Washington.
In 55 games with the Wizards this season, Kyle Kuzma has averaged 16.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and has shot 45.2% from the floor. He is one of the best rebounding forwards in the league this season and being just 26-years-old, Kuzma still has plenty of room to grow.
Washington is unlikely to trade Kuzma, as they would like to pair him with Beal and Porzingis moving forward, but the idea of pairing Malcolm Brogdon with them instead could be appealing to the Wizards’ front-office.

Kuzma can play either the small-forward or power-forward positions for the Pacers, making him a young, versatile player that they can fit next to Tyrese Haliburton long-term.
Not to mention, Washington has other young pieces in Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Rui Hachimura that they could include in a trade package with Kyle Kuzma in order to try and acquire Malcolm Brogdon from the Pacers.
