The Warriors have new trading goals! Target the Australian high defender, or send Kumingga away!

The NBA has not had any major news lately, and there was a rumor today about the Golden State Warriors and the Chicago Bulls.

The Warriors have been busy discussing contract renewal or deals with Kumingga recently. Kumingga wants a big contract, but the Warriors cannot meet it, but there is no good plan for the transaction. Therefore, the Warriors have the initiative, it depends on whether Kumingga is willing to renew the contract with the Warriors.

At this time, the situation changed, and the Bulls were also talking to defender Gidy to renew the contract, which was not smooth. Gidey is a Australia-based defender with a tall figure and was originally selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 6th pick in the first round at the 2021 NBA Draft.

The Warriors originally wanted to choose Gidey with the 7th pick in the first round, but Gidey was taken first by the Thunder, so they chose Kumingga. Now Gidey also wants a contract with an average annual salary of $30 million, but the Bulls think he is not worth the price, so both sides get stuck here.

At this time, the Warriors learned about this and took the initiative to contact Gidey and his agent team, expressing their hope that Gidey can join the Warriors. In order to get Gidey, the Warriors are willing to restart trading negotiations with the Bulls and exchange Kuminga for Gidey. In fact, this deal is also good. Gidey will be very suitable for the Warriors. His style is a bit like Livingston or Iguodala, and he is the kind of swinger the Warriors like.

Kuminga can also get the starting position and tactical position he wants in the Bulls. For the Bulls and Warriors, such a deal is considered to help each other solve problems, which can be discussed. However, the Bulls have not responded positively yet. They still want to keep Gidey, it depends on how the subsequent transaction negotiations proceed.
