I dont know about Kuminga. While he fits the "buy a young player under value because he is in a bad situation" description, he really isnt elite in anything.
I would be okay with losing only monk for him, but i am sceptical about the fit with domas.
Lets see.
They try getting a young player with some kind of upside though, which is positive news.

You can absolutely see why Vivek would hire the dude. He loves smooth talking guys who run the room haha

He's an upgrade defensively so I think the idea is ultimately he replaces DDR with Keegan as the front court buffer to Domas or whoever is playing C and Keegan will get more shots under this scenario while Zach and Dennis are also going to be huge 3 pt threats. The bench pieces will all integrate nicely in this system too, and Eubanks can be Domas light while Maxime can bring even more shooting to the table.

While I'm reluctant to give up on Carter I see this as a pretty big swing with homerun potential. Especially if we can get rid of Deebo for a pick down the road.

KC compared Kuminga to Aaron Gordon Orlando days. Honestly didn't even think about that but makes so much sense.

Young, Immature, super athletic, wanted to be "the guy", questionable shooter, questionable defender, but all the tools if they'd just accept a role.

It wasnt until Gordon got to Denver that he became this amazing role player. If the Kings could get Kuminga to buy into that and work on his defense/3, that'd be amazing.
