Kyle Kuzma Declines Option, Becomes Free Agent: No Odds Yet
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has declined his $13 million player option and will become a free agent, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday.
BetOnline on Tuesday afternoon released odds on a number of NBA player trades, none of which included Wojnarowski.
He will be among the most sought out players as Kuzma is averaging a career-high 21.2 points to go with 7.2 rebounds.
One reason BetOnline did not offer odds on Kuzma? He was widely expected to stay with the hapless Wizards.
He spent two seasons with the Wizards but already tasted a championship courtesy of his time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"It's 100 percent an option. ... I've had a great time here," Kuzma said of Washington. "I've developed my game significantly here, and there's good people here. I'd be a fool to say it's not an option for me."
Kuzma said his goal in free agency is to go somewhere where he can be the best version of himself.
"I'm trying to get better every year," Kuzma said in April. "It's not about money, I'm going to get paid regardless anywhere [I go] and here, too. It's about can I come into work every day and be the best version of myself, can I help lead guys, can I make other players better, can I light up rooms? All those things matter when you're trying to be successful."
