4 for 1! Kuminga depreciates wildly! Warriors withdraw from three-party transactions

On July 4, the free market has been opened for three days, and the Warriors are still signing 0 contracts and trading 0. Some fans think that the Warriors are holding their ultimate moves, while others think that Kuminga's contract renewal is too difficult, which restricts the Warriors' management. Currently, there are fewer teams interested in Kumingga, and the Kings are the more active.

The Kings wanted to negotiate a three-party deal with the Pistons and Warriors, the Kings got Schroeder and Kuminga, the Pistons got Monk, and the Warriors got Devin Carter, Saric and 2 second round picks. For the Warriors, the Kings 4 for 1 is a bit insulting. The Warriors had no interest in this plan, and the King would talk to the Pistons alone. After the free market opened, the Kings signed Schroeder for 45 million US dollars in three years, with a partial guarantee in the third year. This was originally a direct signing, but the Kings wanted to send Malik Monk away, so they discussed with the Pistons whether to change it to sign first and then exchange? Even if the Warriors withdraw from the three-party transaction negotiations, it will not affect Schroeder's joining the King. The Kings three years ago, Halliburton and Fox's two point guards, and the management sent them away one after another. This offseason, the Kings' first signing target was also a point guard, which sounds a bit abstract. In Fox's trade, the Kings exchanged for Raven, plus DeRozan and Monk, almost all scorers in the team were scorers.

From the moment Raven joined, Monk was destined to leave the team, and a team does not need so many players with repeated functions. During the 2024 offseason, the Kings renewed their contract with Monk for 4 years and $78 million, and they will trade him just one year later. Monk's contract will expire in the summer of 2028, with the 2027-28 season being a $21.58 million player option. In the 2024-25 season, Monk played 65 regular season games with the Kings, including 45 starts. He averaged 31.6 minutes per game, scored 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.4 turnovers, and made three shooting percentages: 43.9%, 32.5%, and 86.5%. Monk's contract is not a premium, and King can find his next home in the trading market.

Finally, let's see what level the King wants to give to the Warriors Devin Carter and Salic? During this offseason, the Kings used Valan for 1 to get Salic. Last season, Saric played only 16 games with the Nuggets, averaging 13.1 minutes per game, scoring 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists, with three shooting percentages: 36.2%, 26.9%, and 70%.

Devin Carter was born on March 18, 2002, 1.89 meters tall, and the 13th pick in the first round of the 2024 draft. The Kings have just selected a year and are going to see him off. Last season, Devin Carter played 36 games, averaging minutes per game, scoring only 3.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists, with three shooting percentages: 37%, 29.5%, and 59.1%.

You can find that both of them are inefficient in scoring and it is difficult to enter the rotation lineup. It doesn't make any sense for the Warriors to ask these two players, but it will become a burden to the team. I remember that the Warriors had the opportunity to exchange Kumingga for Siakam or Turner, but the Warriors boss regarded him as a non-sale product. Now Kumingga is depreciating wildly!

Which team do you think Kumingga is suitable for? Can the Warriors still send him away?
