[Trade] Warriors have obvious Jonathan Kuminga trade demand after latest Kings reports

So how do they do this? Could we literally put together a 3-team, 2-S&T deal where Giddey goes to GSW, Monk goes to CHI, and Kuminga comes here?
It looks like this is possible - for example:

SAC gets
Kuminga (GSW, $21M S&T)
Julian Phillips (CHI, $2.2M)

GSW gets
Giddey (CHI, $21M S&T)
Jevon Carter (CHI, $6.8M)

CHI gets
Monk (SAC, $18.8M)
Hield (GSW, $9.2M)

Presumably CHI would want draft compensation for this, but the point is, if GSW want Giddey - and somehow think they can snatch him as an RFA via S&T - then here's a framework. The $$ are tight, though. It's threading the needle for sure.
 
Might be just me, but the most charitable thing I can say about Giddey is that maybe he's not a high IQ guy.

This would bring in a player that the Warriors want, Giddey, instead of Monk, whom they reportedly do not want. It would not require trading Moses Moody. But once again, it's all speculation, like the supposed "trade" of Monk for Rui Hachimura. There would still be the objection of sending Kuminga to a division rival. On the other hand, the Warriors need to do something if they want to have a real team next season. And Chicago finds itself in a similarly intractable standoff with Giddey.
 
But CHI does want Giddy though. They haven't burned that relationship to the extent the Warriors have with Kuminga.

Would be really strange to see them deal the RFA they do want to keep for another RFA they probably want less

Ya I think this is just GSW putting BS out Giddy isn’t going anywhere
