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

Now that kings are out of the running for Kuminga (atm at least) I’m excited to see where Kings land in the draft. 26’ is supposedly considered to be a generational draft class. Either of the top 4 players can be considered as the #1 pick

Good on the Kings not sending an unprotected 1st. I was interested to see how Kuminga could perform on another team, and obviously we are desperate for a forward but that was never a good outcome for us.

If the rumors continue with Kuminga when he becomes available in January, I hope our offer is just Demar + 2nds.

This is a "gap" year for the Kings anyways. Lets stock pile some 1sts, not give them away.

Based on how I expect the Warriors to utilize him I think DeMar straight up is going to be the best sort of offer they receive from us or anyone else, crafty vet on a manageable contract that expires before 2027. I guess the upside for the Warriors in getting the team option in this deal is when they relegate him to 8th man and his value tanks they just cut bait and call him a bust rather than hope to move a $25m albatross.

You see DeRozan fitting with Butler? Hard to imagine the Warriors seeing it

I am not saying that is the trade, I am saying that is the level of player they can expect in return and no picks or anything coming back unless Dubs want to add picks and players for a higher level guy, who I don't expect to be available.

Also I expect that one of their guys gets hurt and misses significant time which is why they wind up needing to do that sort of deal. Butler/Deebo definitely not a fit. I agree there.

Derozan would come off the bench for much needed scoring for them he’d also fit for there 2027 fantasies. I think they’ll prioritize getting a big wing in return for Kuminga though they desperately need one to contend
