Warriors release Kuminga? Bulls abandon Gidedi? A complex deal discussion!

At present, the Warriors have not figured out how to deal with Kuminga, and the contract renewal between the Bulls and Gidey is also in a deadlock; although there are many people who are optimistic about these two players, due to the new version of the labor-management agreement, it is almost impossible for them to get the standard answer for the rest of the time.

Then why don't we assume one thing:

If the Golden State Warriors don't want to spend money to keep Kuminga, and the Chicago Bulls don't need Josh Gidey much, then why don't the two teams choose to trade with each other?

According to Jack Fisher, the reporter of "Open-Air Stand", this trading idea has indeed been discussed, and the team is indeed interested in signing first and then changing for restricted free agents who are in a stalemate in the team.

But unfortunately, due to the intervention of the new NBA version of the labor and capital agreement, even if this transaction happens, the process will be very complicated. Combined with a rule called BYC, the operation is as follows:

If the Warriors trade Kuminga, no matter how much his salary in the first year of the new contract is, the salary given by the Warriors will only be calculated at 50%; but for the Bulls, his salary needs to be calculated in full. Similarly, in this transaction, the salary given by the Bulls is calculated at 50% of Giddy's first annual salary; while the Warriors need to absorb the full amount.

Suppose both of them finally agree to sign a three-year contract renewal of 90 million, then for the Warriors, the transaction value they gave was 15 million, while the Bulls received a transaction value of 30 million; conversely, the same is true for the Bulls.

Therefore, if this transaction is to be facilitated, even if the two parties can make up a difference of 15 million to trade at the beginning, the third team will still need to help with the extra salary.

Although this is not completely impossible, the possibility of final implementation is not high. In the face of this deal, the Warriors and the Bulls may need a third team that may not exist at all.

This deal is actually very reasonable at the basketball level. Even though the Bulls are influenced by Gidy's potential and their optimistic performance last year, both players are more suitable for the other team's lineup and time planning.

For example, Kumingga is a player who is good at linear play. He needs to break through with the ball at the top of the arc, which is also his biggest advantage. However, Curry, who has the most three-point threat in history, has a more offensive system that is more inclined to pull the ball. The Warriors are pursuing the moment to win, wanting to win another championship while Curry can still play, but Kumingga is basically not helpful to this. When he competed with the Rockets in the final stage of last year's season and the first round of the playoffs, he was no longer in the rotation.

If the camera is turned to Chicago, Kobe White is currently in the Bulls. If White needs to hold the ball and may be a player with more development potential in the long run, why should the Bulls continue to spend a lot of money on Gidey?

Meanwhile, if you put White and Kumingga and Boozelis into a trio, this is a young core set to look forward to. Under Donovan's offensive system, Kumingga can naturally play a big role and is very consistent with the Bulls' current lineup. To be particularly special, if the Bulls can hold Kumingga in their hands, it will also help them get rid of the unreasonable contract of Pawei.

On the other hand, Gidey can play the role of an offensive initiator in various formations of the Warriors. When he is with Butler and Green, Gidey can also provide his organizational activation and gradually progressive projection; and when he is on the court with Curry, if Butler is on the bench, Gidey can also play the key role of tandem offense.

From these perspectives, this transaction is naturally much more reasonable.

But it is embarrassing that unless the two teams find more than one, but multiple teams, and both teams are willing to let go of their respective players, this will eventually be a daydream. Although

is a good idea, the chance of happening is not high, and the most likely result is that Kuminga stays in the team with the Warriors, while the Bulls leave Gidey behind. It eventually became two special cases that were affected under the new version of the labor-management agreement.
