Kyle Kuzma Considered 'Quite Valuable' On Trade Market If Wizards Look To Sell

Dec 22, 2023 10:07 PM

Kyle Kuzma re-signed with the Washington Wizards this past offseason on a four-year, $90 million deal that is currently considered "quite valuable" around the league.

The Wizards appear to be sellers this season as they are firmly in the bottom part of the lottery and a trade of Kuzma could net them significant first round draft picks.

The value of Jordan Poole, however, appears to have dropped as he is in just the first season of a four-year, $120 million deal.

Wizards To Build New Arena In Northern Virginia

Dec 12, 2023 9:48 PM

The Washington Wizards are preparing to relocate from downtown Washington D.C. to northern Virginia approximately seven miles away from their current location. 

Ted Leonsis, owner of the Wizards and the Washington Capitals is expected to make the announcement on Wednesday. 

Virginia state lawmakers voted Monday to approve the arena project in northern Virginia, the Washington Post reported. A final vote of the state's full general assembly is needed to pass the project, which would create an 8,000-square-foot campus site in Alexandria.

The Wizards can exit the Capital One Arena lease in 2027 and begin playing in the new arena by 2028.
