Kyle Kuzma has created a positive chapter for his career during his years with the Washington Wizards but there have still been many rumors of him getting traded.
That might get under the skin of some NBA stars, but not Kuzma.
According to NBACentral, he recently talked about trade rumors revolving around him.
Kuzma said:
“It really doesn’t matter at the end of the day. One, it’s a business. Two, everybody in the NBA is tradable, except for (Victor Wembanyama). And I’d still be playing basketball if I get traded, so why would I be thinking about anything other than trying to put the ball in the hoop.”
Kyle Kuzma says trade rumors don’t bother him because the only untouchable player in the NBA is Victor Wembanyama

That’s a very healthy perspective for Kuzma and it allows him to keep playing his heart out without worrying too much about what’s ahead.
It’s also accurate because the NBA is definitely a tough business that doesn’t consider the feelings of its players.
The truth is that Kuzma could be traded at any moment and he has no real power over that.
Although there might be a few other players aside from Wembanyama who are considered untouchable right now, that number is very small.
Instead of focusing on any potential moves, Kuzma is thinking about how he can be a better player and help his Wizards more.
He is about to start his fourth season with the team and has averaged 20.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists so far.
The team is still very troubled and has a long way to go, which means the possibility of Kuzma being traded is larger than ever.
But he’s obviously not going to let that upset him because he has a job to do.
