The Washington Wizards are looking to retain both Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma, who can opt out of their contracts this offseason, according to The Athletic and Stadium's Shams Charania.

Regarding Porzingis, Charania reported he and the Wizards "have been seriously discussing a new deal." Kuzma and the Wizards, meanwhile, have "mutual interest" in a contract that will keep him in the nation's capital.

The Dallas Mavericks dealt Porzingis ahead of the 2022 trade deadline, a move that symbolized how underwhelming his tenure in North Texas had been. The Mavs thought the 7'3" center could be an ideal complement for Luka Doncic, and that simply wasn't the case.

Porzingis has subsequently thrived in Washington. Through 82 appearances, he's averaging 22.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, and his shooting is more efficient (49.3 percent overall; 38.2 percent on threes) than ever.
