密尔沃基冠军前锋凯尔库兹马：NBC官网发布的关于库兹马续约华盛顿奇才的文章（原文）。Kyle Kuzma re-signs with Wizards.As the Wizards’ regular season comes to a close, we look back on fashion icon Kyle Kuzma and his best pregame outfits from the 2022-23 campaign.Kyle Kuzma's four-year, $102 million contract to re-sign with the Washington Wizards is now official, as the NBA's free agent moratorium passed on Thursday afternoon. That cements Kuzma's return to Washington where he has played the last two seasons and enjoyed a career year in 2022-23.Kuzma, 27, averaged 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season while shooting 44.8% from the field and 33.3% from three. After posting those numbers, with career-highs in points and assists, he opted out of the final year of his previous contract to sign a new one with Washington.The Wizards acquired Kuzma in a 2021 trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was part of a core three with Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis, but after those two were traded, Kuzma is the last one remaining on the roster.Kuzma will now team up with Jordan Poole, whom the Wizards landed in a trade with the Warriors, to form a new group of veteran leaders on a roster that is getting younger as the team transitions under a revamped front office. Monumental Basketball president Michael Winger and general manager Will Dawkins have made substantial changes already, but decided to keep Kuzma.There may be a few reasons why they went that route. One is that Kuzma is an ascending player. He took a step forward in the 2021-22 season, his first in Washington, and then made another leap in 2022-23. He will turn 28 later this month and could have many years left in his prime. It's possible he hasn't reached his peak as an NBA player.Kuzma also brings a level of experience and plays a style that is arguably conducive to just about any overarching plan for the team. If the Wizards decide to lean into a rebuild, he is a willing passer who plays within the rhythm of the offense and a reliable defender who gives consistent effort on that end of the floor.Kuzma has experience playing for a rebuilding team early in his career and then later a championship team led by future Hall of Famers LeBron James and Anthony Davis. He can provide guidance to young players the Wizards bring into their program, just as he has for guys like Deni Avdija in recent years.If the team becomes competitive sooner than later, Kuzma can be an integral piece of a contender. He's proven that before during his days with the Lakers and has only gotten better since.Re-signing Kuzma also retains a good player on the Wizards' roster when one of the alternatives would have been to lose him in free agency with nothing in return. His $25.5 million average annual value also maintains some flexibility for the Wizards, as it would have ranked 59th among NBA players last season and will continue to be surpassed by new deals handed out in the coming years, especially as the salary cap goes up.Kuzma has spoken extensively about prioritizing his personal growth as a basketball player above other interests. He clearly found a good situation for that in Washington given his progress over the last two seasons.In staying in D.C., Kuzma appears to have a runway to continue that trajectory as he will go from being the third scoring option to likely being one of their top-two scorers alongside Poole. While few plays were called for Kuzma in previous years when he was on the court with Beal and Porzingis, that could soon change.Kuzma coming back to the Wizards also ensures some entertainment value for the new-look roster. Kuzma has a knack for making big shots and, of course, turning heads with what he wears before games.It's a new chapter for the Wizards, but there will be at least one notable mainstay. Kuzma is back.收起
【上述原文机翻！个别语句有毛病】随着 NBA 自由球员暂停期于周四下午通过，凯尔·库兹马与华盛顿奇才队重新签订的为期四年、价值 1.02 亿美元的合同现已正式生效。这巩固了库兹马重返华盛顿的决心，他在那里打了过去两个赛季，并在 2022-23 赛季享受了职业生涯的一年。27岁的库兹马上赛季场均贡献21.2分、7.2个篮板和3.7次助攻，投篮命中率为44.8%，三分命中率为33.3%。在公布这些数据以及职业生涯最高的得分和助攻后，他选择退出上一份合同的最后一年，与华盛顿签订一份新合同。奇才队在 2021 年与洛杉矶湖人队的交易中得到了库兹马。他与布拉德利·比尔和克里斯塔普斯·波尔津吉斯一起成为三核心的一员，但在这两个人被交易后，库兹马是名单上剩下的最后一个。库兹马现在将与奇才队在与勇士队的交易中得到的乔丹·普尔（Jordan Poole）联手，组成一组新的老将领袖，随着球队在改组后的管理层的领导下进行过渡，球队的阵容将变得越来越年轻。纪念篮球队总裁迈克尔·温格和总经理威尔·道金斯已经做出了重大改变，但决定保留库兹马。他们走这条路可能有几个原因。一是库兹马是一名正在上升的球员。2021-22赛季，他向前迈出了一步，这是他在华盛顿的第一次，然后在2022-23赛季再次实现飞跃。他将于本月晚些时候满 28 岁，他的巅峰期可能还有很多年。作为一名NBA球员，他可能还没有达到巅峰。库兹马还带来了一定程度的经验和打球风格，可以说有利于球队的任何总体计划。如果奇才队决定进行重建，他是一个愿意传球的球员，能够按照进攻的节奏进行比赛，同时也是一名可靠的防守者，能够在球场的另一端做出持续的努力。库兹马在职业生涯早期曾效力于一支重建球队，后来又效力于由未来名人堂成员勒布朗·詹姆斯和安东尼·戴维斯领导的冠军球队。他可以为奇才队引进的年轻球员提供指导，就像他近年来为德尼·阿夫迪亚这样的球员所做的那样。如果球队早日变得有竞争力，库兹马可以成为竞争者中不可或缺的一部分。他在湖人队的日子里就已经证明了这一点，并且从那以后他的表现才变得更好。重新签下库兹马也让奇才队的名单上保留了一名优秀的球员，而另一种选择就是在自由球员市场上失去他而没有任何回报。他2550万美元的平均年薪也为奇才队保持了一定的灵活性，因为上赛季他在NBA球员中排名第59位，并且将继续被未来几年发放的新合同超越，特别是随着工资帽的提高。库兹马多次谈到将他作为一名篮球运动员的个人成长置于其他利益之上。鉴于他过去两个赛季的进步，他显然在华盛顿找到了一个很好的处境。留在华盛顿特区，库兹马似乎有一条跑道可以继续这一轨迹，因为他将从第三得分选择成为与普尔并肩的前两名得分手之一。虽然前几年当库兹马与比尔和波尔津吉斯一起在球场上时，很少有人要求他上场，但这种情况很快就会改变。库兹马重返奇才队也确保了新阵容的一些娱乐价值。库兹马有投出精彩投篮的诀窍，当然，他在比赛前的穿着也能引起人们的注意。这是奇才队的新篇章，但至少会有一位值得注意的中流砥柱。库兹马回来了。
库兹马最新训练视频，可以看出这个休赛期他的重点就是放在力量与持球上面，毕竟下个赛季应该又是少有的一个可以让他放开抡的赛季。（原视频在ins上就没有声音）
