Fischer said he also spoke with people connected to the Mavericks FO and mentions they’d most likely not be interested in giving up key assets for Kuzma.
That seems like a reasonable stance. He’d be an upgrade to our bench but besides his crappy play & unavailability this season he also makes quite a bit more than MLE money. Would be hard to find a spot for him under the salary cup. Personally I’ve never been a fan of this guy but if the front office still sees something in him after almost trading for him last year I’d be on board. It’s just hard to see where he’d fit here if it’s supposed to be more than a bench role.
Generally speaking the backup PF spot looks like the biggest weakness right now and the team certainly could use a shooter at the frontcourt spots though.
Irving | Dinwiddie
Thompson | Grimes
Doncic | Marshall
Washington | Kuzma
Lively | Gafford
The way Fischer states it makes it sound a lot more like that’s something Kuzma is interested in instead of the Mavs though. And that’s also my stance here. Probably a non starter and just an old almost-trade rumor being recycled again.
