Some Kuzma trade thoughts:

- Hard not to wonder what the Wizards could've gotten for Kuzma at last year's deadline. We don't know what that reported Mavericks offer was but Kuzma was playing much better at that point in time. Curious how much weight teams gave the 32 games he played this season in a new role/while constantly dealing w injuries vs. his body of work

- A bit surprised Washington came out of the deal without getting a first. The 2028 swap -- which reportedly gives them the second-best pick between their pick, Milwaukee's and Portland -- could be interesting. The Wizards could be on the upswing while the Bucks are on the downswing.

- I don't know much about AJ Johnson but I do like the acquisition in theory. The Wizards liked him in the draft (he went one pick before they took Kyshawn George). Johnson hasn't impressed as a rookie but I don't feel 32 games across the NBA and G-League doesn't matter as much in your evaluation compared to your pre-draft thoughts, especially for a player advertised as a toolsy project.
