Kyle Kuzma declined a trade to the Dallas Mavericks, choosing to stay with the Washington Wizards to build something for the future.
The Mavericks had offered two first-round draft picks for Kuzma, but he felt the timing wasn't right for a move.
Kuzma's decision was influenced by his desire to be part of a true NBA championship contender, a vision he didn't see aligning with the Mavericks' current trajectory.
