Do you still have talent? It is worth paying attention to Kumingga s three teams!

The Golden State Warriors made big moves before the trading deadline. Although Butler's joining brought the team's combat support, it is undeniable that the result of this transaction was still somewhat unexpected at that time. Since early on, Kumingga's name has been constantly appearing in trading rumors, but unexpected injuries disrupted the Warriors' plans. In the end, the Warriors had to choose to trade Wiggins in exchange for Butler.

Although I escaped this season, I still have to think about one question: Where will Kumingga go after this season?

Judging from the rumors and Cole's employment rotation, the Warriors seem to have no intention of Kumingga, which gives them the opportunity to use Kumingga as a restricted free agent by signing first and then changing to exchange some other assets.

No surprise, as a first-round pick, Kumingga is a talented young player, and other teams with bad performances can also use him as the cornerstone of the team building and build a new lineup around him. Although he missed most of the season due to injury, Kumingga was able to score 15.3 points per game in the regular season this season, which is the second highest level in his four-year career after the 2023-24 season.

But no matter how talented he is, the Warriors are still a team of Curry and Green, a group of old winners who won the championship. Since he can no longer wait for opportunities year after year, it is naturally an understandable choice for the Warriors and him to find a mobile phone.

Curry is still in the second half of his career peak. This season he has also carried the Warriors into the playoffs and successfully broke through the fierce battle with the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. If Kumingga wants to fully demonstrate his talent potential, he must be given the role of a core player in the team, but from the current point of time, it is completely unlikely that the Warriors and Cole will meet his requirements.

So, in this offseason, which teams are likely to seize the opportunity to win Kumingga?

Team 1: Sacramento Kings

We have included this team in Kuminga's potential next home for several reasons.

First of all, the Kings are likely to part ways with Sa Sakus during the offseason this season, and even give up one from the three core rotations of Raven, DeRozan and Monk.

Although Lavin was traded before the trading deadline, from the team's perspective, if the Kings can send him to the Warriors by signing first and then changing, and trade to Kumingga, this choice is not bad. The king is on the verge of reconstruction, and Kumingga happens to bring value to this point.

And the reason we use LaVine as the best candidate for the trade is not only because he is a little older, but also because he can be the ideal third-scoring candidate for the Warriors.

Although the Kings currently need a genuine point guard to sort out the offense, if Sa left the team, Kumingga could support the firepower gap and temporarily fill the offensive role they needed. Although Kumingga and Sasa are two players of completely different styles, what the Kings need at this point in time is a first-scoring penalty player as the main force, and it is also a very suitable time to test whether Kumingga can bear the burden on the team.

At this stage, DeRozan has been difficult for a long time to become the team's first scoring point, and his career has gradually entered its late stages. Monk is a Neuro Knife player, his offensive firepower is not stable enough, and his career-high average score is already this season. I hope he can go further in the future, and the possibility is basically unlikely.

When the King chooses to trade Fox, if Sasha is traded, the King basically means that the new candidates need to take over the team, and Kumingga may become the target. Although it doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate for the Warriors, this is mainly because he is in the same team as veterans such as Curry and Green, and he has no room to show his potential. If he could come to the king, he would have a chance to prove himself.

Second Team: Utah Jazz

After the Utah Jazz traded Mitchell to Cleveland, they had already begun to rebuild, but their reconstruction career was more chaotic than other teams. They had previously obtained Markanen. Although he played out the ability of a star striker, it was still difficult for him to carry the banner of the new era of magic like Franz.

In Mitchell's trade, the Jazz got Sexton, a star-level defender from the Cavaliers, but after coming to the Jazz, he failed to bring value on the offensive end as expected.

The last time the Jazz advanced to the playoffs was already in the 2021-22 season. At that time, Mitchell was still leading the team, and that was also the last time they scored more than 50% of the winning rate in the regular season. As a team that has been rebuilt for many years, the Jazz need a young talent like Kuminga to transform into the core player they need one day in the future.

Combined with the team, the Jazz can sign and then exchange, package John Collins and some other assets to the Warriors, so that the Warriors can maximize the potential value of Kuminga when they get at least one in-appropriate player.

Third Team: The Brooklyn Nets are currently in the abyss of reconstruction. When the experiment of Durant + Irving + Harden failed, they chose to rebuild and shifted their focus to young players. Then they traded Bridges, who broke out of the cocoon, to the New York Knicks, completely vacating the main scoring point, which is exactly the position Kumingga has always wanted to get in the Warriors.

Put aside the possibility of signing and then switching first, if Kumingga officially enters the free market as a free agent in the offseason, the Nets are likely to be one of the next players who are actively competing for his next player, because they do need a main scoring point at the moment. Counting the current salary structure of the Nets, Clarkston is actually the highest paid player in their team.. From this point of view, the Nets' urgency to recruit potential players is already obvious.

In addition to demand, the Nets also have huge salary space that can accommodate any superstars, but judging from their lack of competitiveness at this stage, there are probably no mature star players who are interested in them. Recruiting Kumingga can be their key first step into the future.
