NBA Trade Rumor: Kyle Kuzma Linked to the Dallas Mavericks

Former Runnin' Ute Kyle Kuzma may be on the move before the trade deadline.

It's the time of year when the NBA rumor mill starts to churn as the deadline inches closer and closer for teams to make the final move to help their current or future prospects. 

Former Utah Runnin' Ute Kyle Kuzma has been a regular name in trade rumors for a few seasons now after the Washington Wizards have failed to find consistent success and this season is no different. 

Despite the acquisition of Jordan Poole and Marvin Bagley, the Wizards have a 7-35 record and could value a first-round pick in return for Kuzma.

On the season, Kuzma has averaged 21.8 points per game, shooting 45.5% from the field accompanied by 6.4 rebounds per game and 4.3 assists per game. The Mavs would be a perfect fit for the former Ute as he fills a role yet to be replicated on the team plus they have a 2025 first-round pick to offer the Wizards in return.
