The player empowerment movement has swept the NBA – for better or for worse.
Opinions on that front vary. On the one hand, the league is nothing without talent – it’s fair to say the players are the most important people in the league. Why shouldn’t they be empowered?
They should. However, the is a downside. With players feeling increasingly free to choose their own destination, team building has gotten a little more complicated.
Suddenly, general managers can’t be certain they’ll be able to hold onto key players.
At the moment, it looks like Kyle Kuzma wants off of the Washington Wizards. If those rumors ae true, the team may look to move on from the talented wing as soon as possible.
Should the New York Knicks be interested in him?
