The Sacramento Kings nearly landed Kyle Kuzma back in 2021 in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kuzma, famously, ended up going to the Washington Wizards instead as part of L.A.'s package for Russell Westbrook. That didn't work out so well for the Lakers but it worked out fine for Kuzma, who averaged north of 20 points per game in each of the last two seasons with the Wiz and signed a four-year, $90 million deal in the meantime.
As portrayed in the piece, it should come as little surprise Sacramento wants Kuzma. His skillset and contract combination should be appealing to pretty much every team in the league, in fact. The 28-year-old averaged 22.2 points per game on 46.7% shooting from the floor, including 33.6% from deep on 6.4 attempts per contest.
