Famous reporter: The only motivation for the Warriors to trade Kumingga is to exchange for better players. They have a buyer mentality

October 4th News Today's famous reporter Jake Fischer talked about Warriors player Kumingga in his podcast "InsiderNotebook".

Speaking of Kumingga's trading prospects, JakeFischer said: "Overall, I think the only motivation for the Warriors to trade Kumingga at the moment is to exchange players they think are stronger than Kumingga and can directly enhance the team's championship window. They will not easily take action just for an attractive salary contract or draft pick. Even if they trade, they are more inclined to further exchange the exchanged assets for their favorite players. They always maintain the 'buyer' mentality rather than the 'seller'.

"If you want to predict Kumingga's trading direction, I think it may end up being a perfect puzzle like the Pelicans' Train Murphy that the Warriors regard as a "combination of heaven" by the Warriors, a complementary player who is more suitable for the core lineup than Kumingga, rather than breaking him up for the draft picks and other assets.

"At the end of the day, the Warriors renewed the contract with Kumingga with a higher salary, in order to retain the flexibility of future transactions, but not for sale, but for ‘change him for better’. If Kumingga ultimately fails to grow into the kind of key rotation player that the Warriors expect to connect the past and future between Curry and the dream pursuit, they will consider using this contract in exchange for a more suitable puzzle."
