Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
First of all – it’s heavily rumored that Kuzma wants a change of scenery. That’s an important part of this calculus for the Wizards.
After all, keeping an unhappy player around comes with its own disadvantages. Whether the Wizards intend on continuing forward in win-now mode or triggering a rebuild, they should want harmony in their locker room.
On a related note: the Wizards should probably trigger a rebuild. They haven’t just been underwhelming this season. Nobody has thought the Wizards had even a remote chance at title contention since John Wall was in his prime.
This move could be the impetus to make bigger ones. Nobody on this roster should be safe.
