Michael Winger allowed Kyle Kuzma to decide on whether to accept a trade to the Mavericks. He declined.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma was linked to a possible trade to the Dallas Mavericks. But no one knew the exact circumstances of it until today.

According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Kuzma said in postgame media after Washington’s game against Dallas that Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger approached him about the possibility of a trade. Here is what Kuzma said in detail:

There was a point in time, Dallas, they definitely did want me. Winger presented me with what the trade was and obviously didn’t want to trade me and kind of left the decision up to me a little bit and asked me what I wanted to do.
