Does Kyle Kuzma offer more value to the Wizards next season as a player or a trade asset?

Perhaps in a demonstration of how starved DC has been for competent professional basketball, the narratives on Kyle Kuzma (at least among significant swaths of the fanbase) is that 2021-22 was a breakout season, and that he’s become a key building block — the third member of a Big Three that includes Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis.

Regular readers will not be shocked to see my analysis disagrees with both narratives. While Kuzma did have the best season of his career, his performance was largely within the expected boundaries of career norms and was pretty average compared to the league.
