The Golden State Warriors seem quite eager to improve their offense and are seeking potential additions to their squad before the trade deadline ends. Apparently, the Warriors have an eye on Kyle Kuzma who is currently playing for the Washington Wizards. Currently, Golden State is fifth in the Western Conference after winning 14 games and losing ten.
Recently, NBA insider Brett Siegel reported that Kuzma might soon play for the Golden State Warriors if all goes well. However, the Warriors are not the only team who are interested in grabbing Kuzma before it’s too late. Apart from Golden State, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Indiana Pacers, the Detroit Pistons and the Sacramento Kings are all keen on getting Kuzma on their squad.
It is definitely understandable as to why the Golden State Warriors need players like Kyle Kuzma right now. Golden State’s offense is okay but definitely not as superb as the team needs it to be in order to get to the top of the Western table. The Warriors have the 16th best offense in the league, the same as the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kyle Kuzma will add plenty of needed depth to Golden State’s offense, currently playing with an average of 15.8 points per game, and grabbing 5.6 rebounds in every matchup. However, Kuzma has not had a nice chance to prove himself, with the Wizards performing abysmally this season.
Golden State Warriors Lost To The Houston Rockets With A Very Tight Score
The Golden State Warriors played the Houston Rockets in their previous matchup and lost the game with a tight score of 91-90. Jonathan Kuminga was the team’s highest scorer in that game with 20 points in total, while Stephen Curry managed to put up 19 points. Buddy Hield also contributed strongly with 15 points.
Kuminga and Payton II each grabbed seven rebounds for the team, leading the Warriors in this category. Curry managed the highest number of assists for the Warriors with five helpers, while Draymond Green assisted four times.
On the other hand, the Rockets had Alperen Sengun managed to score 26 points in total, along with 11 rebounds and five helpers, while Jabari Smith Jr. scored another 15 points, with a single rebound and a single assist. Jalen Green was another high-scorer for the team with 12 points, grabbing four rebounds and assisting twice. Amen Thompson chalked up ten points for Houston with six boards and assisting thrice against the Golden State Warriors.
