[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?

Maybe monk + draft capital to Chicago. Or Carter + Saric + draft capital. I’m game

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.

Giddey might just have more upside/ talent than Monk but I am unsure if he fits better. Not a good shooter

Sure, but it's not up to me to dictate what the Warriors want.

The word was Kuminga’s first choice was Chicago so I’d imagine he would be the one somehow landing there.

If I’m Sac and Chicago would take Monk and a pick I’d pick the high IQ guy over the raw athlete but that’s just me.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Might be just me, but the most charitable thing I can say about Giddey is that maybe he's not a high IQ guy.

And Chicago was rumored to want him if they can’t sign Giddy

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

 

[Kingz19]

I don’t think the Bulls want to or will move Giddey. They’re just taking their time.

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

Then here's a framework. The $$ are tight, though. It's threading the needle for sure.

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.

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

 

[SacTownKid]

Sounds like the agents for Kuminga and Giddey are starting to freak out a little lol.
