The Washington Wizards’ forward Kyle Kuzma might get acquired by the Miami Heat in the upcoming days. When a team makes it to the NBA finals, they are seen as a threat for a few upcoming seasons, but the Heat’s run to the finals was so unexpected and exceptional that they are not likely to repeat the stunt. This might have hurt the ego of the management, and they would have liked to shut each and every mouth.
Actually, the Heat started working on their roster from the first day itself when Damian Lillard asked for a trade from the Blazers to the Heat. But the former wanted more than what the Heat could offer, and Lillard ended up on the Milwaukee Bucks’ roster. They also failed to acquire Jrue Holiday from the Blazers. Now, they have their eyes set on Wizards’ forward. Can they make it happen? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Washington Wizards and the Miami Heat involving Kyle Kuzma.
What would the Heat offer for Kyle Kuzma?
The Heat are expected to offer Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, and Jaime Jaquez in exchange for the Wizards’ #3. The last season’s finalists are set to make some win-now trades to show the NBA world that they deserve what they have achieved. Can the 28-year-old help them do so?

Why would the Wizards trade-off Kyle Kuzma?
The Wizards tried to contend for the title by pairing John Wall with Bradley Beal, they made some significant progress, but they were never close to the title. Then, Wall got injured, and the Wizards sank deeper. They traded Beal to the Phoenix Suns, and they are turning towards a rebuild. This deal gives them three decent players, but the Wizards might ask for a draft pick as well.

Why would the Heat like to sign Kyle Kuzma?
There might be multiple reasons for the Heat not to do this deal, but they are getting an immense amount of talent in this deal, and that is likely to beat all the arguments. They lost to the Nuggets in the finals in the matchup game, and they are working on that issue here.
