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

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.
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

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

So essentially GSW tried to say they have every intention of keeping JK and have no desire to trade him.
Then days later they leak interest in Giddey.
Do they really think anyone believes them about anything at this point?
They are so unlikable. They weren’t even getting a bad offer from us. I hope this all backfires spectacularly for them.

Why would Chicago trade Giddey for Monk and Buddy? That makes zero sense. They traded FOR Giddey and gave up a lot, now they are low balling him because they can. They certainly aren't trading him for 2 shooting guards who are on the back half of their careers.
I don't think Chicago is low balling Giddey, they are trying to get him slightly above market value but a lot of players are in denial that the current CBA has reset their market.

Why some people enjoy constantly throwing shade at our wonderful city escapes me. Surely there are better things one could be doing with their time.

Agreed. They appear to be flailing around, with everything they want to do on hold until the Kuminga issue is resolved. I like the fact the Kings are not negotiating with themselves. GSW knows their telephone number and the Kings' position. So sit back and enjoy the summer watching the histrionics of GSW.

They can bluster around all they want, but everybody knows they have no leverage. If it comes down to Kuminga signing the QO, then they will lose him for nothing next off season. They either trade him now or lose him.

Do you mean me? No shade thrown. I love Sacramento and I gave an accurate if in-descriptive list of Sacramento's landmarks: the Capitol Building, the Tower Bridge et al, The Delta King and Queen, the Sacramento and American rivers, the Ziggurat, the city's, and by extension central valley’s, surrounding landscapes acting as a status symbol of the greatest hub of agriculture this side of the Fertile Crescent, and the natural greenery so iconic it proudly, if briefly, was adopted as the city’s title.
Not one “cowtown” mention at all.
And having lived through 3 major floods in the area, yes, that’s what it looked like (hyperbolically) in the aftermath.
If you’re reading shade from what I wrote, in all honesty I think that might be more of your own insecurities.
Sacramento’s a wonderful town and I’m proud to be from there.

There are a lot of speculative articles featuring teams with huge fanbases like the Warriors and Lakers. Anything to get those clicks. It's just business.

The Warriors could be trying to cut the enemy off at the pass. If the Bulls play their cards right they might be one of the only teams with money next offseason to flat out offer Kuminga a deal. If Kuminga takes the QO, he's likely ending up on the Bulls anyway if they want him.

A trade with chi would only make sense if we get Patrick Williams back

I agree but you would have to get a big back in any trade with chi.
Not off the court.
