After NBA Draft breakdown, Alex Sarr Gets honest about Wizards fans amid Kyle Kuzma Trade Rumors

The 19-year-old Alex Sarr has landed in the Washington Wizards in the NBA Draft through no. 2 overall pick. It has been three days since the Frenchman settled in Washington, DC, to join his team. Interestingly, the young prospect almost broke into tears when his name was announced from the Wizards’ end. Alex’s brother Olivier Sarr could not get drafted and has signed a two-way contract with OKC. That’s why Alex, as well as his brother, almost choked up their necks, being completely sentimental. However, it seems that the Frenchman has a liking for his new team’s ambiance.

During Wizards’ introductory conference on Saturday night, the host asked Alex about his emotional state from fan reactions and the city. However, despite almost breaking up at the draft, his response seemed quite positive and genuine after joining the team. “It feels great to be here. Like, we went to dinner last night and I was thinking like, it feels like home, “ the young prospect described his first experience in the district of Washington. There’s a reason why Alex is not finding similarities between his home and Washington.

Interstingly, Washington state shares the same 46-degree northern latitude with French regions like Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Rhône. And Alex hails from Bordeaux. That’s why he is experiencing the same climate and most of the vegetative similarities in foods and wines. But it was not just about the place for Alex. The ambiance of his new team made Sarr realize that he “can really grow and take the next steps” in his game.

No wonder a 7 footer like Alex is a great addition to the team. However, it is also speculated that the Wizards will lose a 6’9″ small forward this season, Kyle Kuzma.

Is Kyle Kuzma going to the Lakers after the entry of a supporter like Alex Sarr?

Kyle Kuzma has been with the Wizards for three years since he joined them in 2021. Miraculously, he did not join the team by will. He was part of the trade that got Russell Westbrook to the Lakers. But after two years, he declined the player option for $13 million but did not want to leave the Wizards. He resigned them for a four-year $102 million deal. For now, he is earning almost $45.5 million annually while playing the Wizards.

Yet the first hand is expected from the side of the Lakers front office. They are looking for a wingman after the Russell Westbrook trade. In the loss of most potential candidates, Kyle Kuzma. The same 28-year-old who was traded for Russell might make a comeback with them. However, it seems that the Kuzma will not get back to the purple and golden jerseys. He would not have signed a four-year contract with his current team if he was going to shift.

On top of that, he has someone like Alex Sarr with a wingspan of almost 7’5”. Such a player will be a great addition on the defensive end, giving Kuzma more freedom. Still, what do you all think? Will Kuzma make a move to get to his next team? Comment down your thoughts.
