Dallas Mavericks were very close to Kyle Kuzma

The Dallas Mavericks were close to acquiring Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma before the deadline, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic.

The Mavericks’ offer for Kuzma was not considered attractive enough by the Wizards, who were looking for an outstanding offer and not just a fair one, with the demand for at least two first-round draft picks.
