Kuminga S&T value

Is potential of Kuminga worth

Klay Thompson
PJ Washington

Warriors need more 3pt shooting and rotation big

Dallas gets a young player with room to grow.

Doubtful.

That would be a big win for GSW...not smashing Kuminga, just fit-wise it's not close. I like Kuminga, but tough to make a huge FA bet on him, but a SnT...sure

Assuming salaries match, this puts Kuminga at $30.8, that might be a bit steep but if you believe...

theres something called BYC for salary matching so OP is really hard to pull off. need to send out Hield and Moody involving 3rd or 4th teams too, in which case you lose 3 pt shooting

I don't think this is close at all. PJWashington is pretty solid, and 'having room to grow' for a team that just decided to go all-in on AD... Even with Kyrie out for most if not all of next season, is really not the answer. Dallas will want to contend ASAP if I'm reading their pulse correctly

yeah BYC makes this really difficult. Also not sure what Kuminga does for Dallas.

He's in his 4th year and incapable of earning minutes on a mid tier playoff team, and its not like the Warriors have great depth either. I dont think he has any real value. Some team might throw the mid level at him, though i wouldnt be surprised to see him play on the QO

I think I won the last Kuminga sign and trade thread by just offering Gafford? But he’s not really a good fit.

If the OP meant either Mav? Yeah. We can figure something out to send Klay back home. We can involve a third team to get around salary matching..

Kuminga still not a good fit, but that’s okay for Klay.

I just don't see Kuminga at a salary that makes this legal as anything other than an ill-advised risk for Dallas. The best fit for Kuminga was GS before they traded for Butler. That's over.

He's in the Sexton category of good, but considerably flawed, prospects who need a specific type of roster built around them, but aren't really good enough to justify it.

I don’t watch a ton of Warriors game so there is an element of me being ignorant of his game. But from what I have seen, I don’t want him on the Jazz.

I still think Lauri will be traded to the Warriors in the off season. He makes so much sense on that team. But the trades have often mentioned Kuminga as a part of a trade and I really hope we don’t trade for him.

Considering contract and production, I see PJ alone as more valuable than Kuminga currently.

Admittedly I haven’t seen a lot of Kuminga this year; I see the box scores of about 16/17 a game, but I’m still not sure what he does well consistently.

Change to Powell and Klay

I think Bucks would probably offer up Brook or Portis or Kuzma.

I think best bet is a place like Hornets for Mark Williams or something

If that trade happens, I would think Kuminga would be heading to a third team.

Anything besides the fit make you think Lauri will still be traded? I got the impression he was staying put for a while now.

Lauri was not able to be traded this season. He will be now.

If the Jazz get Flagg or Harper I think they are more likely to keep Lauri. But the odds are they drop to 3-5 and in that scenario I believe Ainge would be more likely to trade Lauri for picks and go full tank again.

I think/hope the Jazz are tanking regardless next season, but it’s going to be easier to tank next season if they trade Lauri and without Flagg or Harper they don’t have their guy yet and the timeline for keeping Lauri and getting good is one season longer and it makes more sense to trade Lauri if they don’t get their cornerstone player this draft.

I don't think I'd trade PJW for Kuminga straight up if I were Dallas, contract issues aside. PJ is a really good role player who we know can be part of a contending team. Kuminga is.....?

How will the Warriors match Lauri's salary?

Yeah I think that ship has sailed. We’d have to include either Jimmy or Draymond to make the $ work and that defeats the point.

I think a simple TPE from BRK (Who signs Kuminga + one of Aldama or Reid).

Then use the TPE to bring in a 7th or 8th man level guy.

I dont see much room to trade for a needle mover for GSW given how their contracts are played out.
