Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has been linked to the Brooklyn Nets for some time now, and fans would rather have him in the ranks instead of Ben Simmons.

Kuzma has hit a purple patch this season averaging 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists — his best digits since his 2017-18 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. His last five games have seen him dish out three 20+ point performances before capping it off with a 40-point masterclass against the New York Knicks.

This performance has fans imploring the Nets to acquire Kuzma's services before the trade deadline ends to give their side a stronger chance of going the distance. Brooklyn has had an astonishing run this season after a turbulent start and is the favorite to make the playoffs.

Kuzma's stellar performance against the Knicks that had him prop up 7 rebounds and as many assists had Nets fans hoping he could replace the underfire Simmons who has had a forgettable season so far averaging just 7.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists — his lowest since his 2017-18 season with the Philadelphia 76ers.

NBA Fans Want Kyle Kuzma To Become A Net: "Trade Him For Ben Simmons"

Kuzma has been phenomenal for the Wizards this season, and while they are on the back foot with an 18-25 record and placed 12th in the East, the forward has notched up impressive performances to keep the side's playoff aspirations alive.

And of late, he has been one of the in-demand players slated to find a new home before the end of the season with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns as some of the interested parties. But Nets fans believe his future is in Brooklyn.

Earlier, rumor mills were churning that the Lakers were keen to get Kuzma back in the fold, but any concrete developments can be expected only closer to the trade deadline. 

Only time will tell if he indeed lands up with the Lakers and plays alongside LeBron James, or whether the Nets will make a beeline for the man with the hot hand.
