The Bucks want to send the forward general away to strengthen and promote other positions, but it is difficult for them to do this?

According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, the Milwaukee Bucks, which are constantly making various moves this summer, are still exploring the market trend of the team's forward player Kyle Kuzma, and they hope to understand what kind of rewards can be obtained by sending Kuzma away.

Siegel also said that some sources said that judging from the current situation, Kuzma is more likely to continue to stay with the Bucks and start his 2025-26 season. Despite this, the team is still struggling to find multi-functional 3D type wingers who can play around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner to continue to improve the team's competitiveness. After cutting Damian Lillard, the Bucks' next focus is to add an experienced point guard partner to Kevin Porter Jr., who has just completed a contract renewal with the team.

Before last season's trade deadline, the Bucks completed a deal with the Washington Wizards, and the Bucks sent away meritorious wing veteran Khris Middleton and exchanged Kuzma from the Wizards. After joining the Bucks, Kuzma made a total of 33 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 31.8 minutes per game, with averaging 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 45.5% from the field, 33.3% from three-point shooting percentage and 66.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, Kuzma played 5 games in total, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, averaging 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 34.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 50%.

Kuzma's performance after joining the team can be said to be terrible. Although he was able to play a certain role on the offensive end during the regular season, his shortcomings on the defensive end are very obvious, and he is not a reliable defender. In the playoffs, Kuzma's performance on the defensive end was not only disappointing, but his performance on the offensive end was also extremely bad. His scoring ability was not fully displayed, and his effect on the offensive end was also worrying. It is also because his performance is really bad, Kuzma's playing time has been greatly reduced, and his importance in the team is getting lower and lower. The problem at the moment is that everyone can see that Kuzma's performance in the playoffs was a mess. In this case, he also attracted the attention of other teams, and it was also very difficult for the Bucks to send him away.
