Three-party transactions, Rockets make a big profit? Kumingga airborne Chicago?

After winning Jimmy Butler this season, the Warriors saw hope of competing for the NBA championship again. They defeated the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs through a tiebreak battle, but because of the excessive consumption, Curry had to miss the series against the Timberwolves, and the Warriors were also unfortunately eliminated. But none of these affected General Manager Dunleavy Jr.'s confidence in continuing to compete for the championship. Curry, Butler and Dream Chasing each performed their duties and had a good understanding. So he placed his hope of strengthening in the weak No. 5 position. Kumingga, who was in a state of unstable condition and pursued high salaries, would become a bargaining chip for the Warriors to strengthen. Because of his top athletic talent, Kumingga has many suitors in the free agent market. The Nets and Bulls, who failed to make the playoffs, have a special liking for him.

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Warriors management will pursue the Bulls' double-double center Vucevic during the offseason this summer, thereby improving the strength of the inside. The media provided a three-party trading offer to the Rockets, Warriors and Bulls. If the negotiations go smoothly, Cumingga will be sent to Chicago as a bargaining chip, and TJD will go to Houston to assist Shinkin. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Rockets gave the 59th pick in 2025 second round pick + the Grizzlies second round pick in 2027;

2. The Warriors gave the Jonathan Cumingga (sign first and then exchange) + Teres Jackson Davis + the 41st pick in 2025 second round pick to get Nickla Vucevic;

3. The Bulls gave the Nickla Vucevic to get Jonathan Cumingga (sign first and then exchange) + 3 future second round picks.

Vucevic averaged 31.2 minutes per game this season, contributing 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting percentage of 53% from the field and 40.2% from three-point shooting percentage. He is a technical center with a high basketball IQ, accurate positioning, stable shooting, rich scoring methods, and accustomed to finding shooting opportunities through team cooperation. Although it is difficult to adapt to Warriors coach Steve Cole's unlimited defense switching system due to its slow movement speed, Vucevic has the ability to influence the game in his own way. Compared with the blue-collar inside Looney and TJD who lacks shooting ability, Vucevic can significantly improve the Warriors' inside strength. After sending away Zach Laven away, the Bulls no longer have the ability to enter the playoffs, so the management is not opposed to the practice of using Vucevic for young potential stocks. Kumingga's arrival can improve the Bulls' overall talent, and his internal and external combination with Josh Kiddy is full of expectations.

Jackson Davis is 25 years old this year. He is a rookie in 2023, but he was not able to get a bargain by the Warriors until the 27th pick in the second round due to his age and lack of talent. However, TJD did not give up on himself because of this. Instead, he found a way to gain a foothold in the Warriors through hard training and grasping opportunities. This season, he contributed 6.6 points, 5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and shot 57.6% from the field. He is good at running without the ball on the offensive end and looking for open shooting opportunities; he is good at trying his best on the defensive end and doing dirty and tiring work without any effort is his biggest feature and advantage. Rockets coach Uduka has always liked players who are strong in defense, hard in playing, and do not dominate the ball. Jackson Davis meets Uduka's employment standards.
