On telling Wizards management that he wanted to stay put: Kyle Kuzma: I just felt like, you know, we’re all on such different timelines in our lives. Although I have good relationships in [the Dallas] organization, this wasn’t probably the right time for me in my career — especially just trying to build something here. That’s something I don’t shy away from. So I think that was the biggest factor. Also there’s not too many contending teams and going to the right situation is always the most important thing in the NBA.
