Crazy night: Warriors sell Kuminga, Sasha is seriously injured, 4 Mavericks can be traded

The new NBA season is in full swing. There have been more than a dozen games played so far this season, and the performance of many teams has fallen far short of expectations. These include teams that have undergone major lineup adjustments before. As the schedule progresses, many teams have also begun or are on the road to reconstruction. Many players have been put on the shelf. Of course, in addition, there are teams that are still suffering from injuries. Next, let's take a look at the specific situation. Crazy night: The Warriors sold Kuminga, Sasha was seriously injured, and the Mavericks had 4 players available for trade.

The Kings have been subject to trade rumors for a long time in the past. The Kings currently suffer a 7-game losing streak and rank second to last in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 12 losses. The team also suffered from injuries earlier. Famous reporter Shams reported that Sabonis suffered a partial meniscus tear in his left knee and will be re-evaluated in 3 to 4 weeks. Savoy has played 11 games for the Kings this season, averaging 33.1 minutes per game, averaging 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. Injuries still have a big impact on the team's subsequent transactions.

The Warriors unexpectedly put Kuminga on the shelf. Evan Sidery reported that according to the original plan, the Warriors will start promoting Jonathan Kuminga on the trade market next month. At the beginning of the season, Kuminga once performed well, but as the schedule progressed, Kuminga lost himself again, and after being placed on the bench, remarks about Kuminga's dissatisfaction with the team were also spread.

The Warriors' record has also had ups and downs, and coupled with the poor performance of the rotation players in the team, Kuminga was unexpectedly put on the shelf. What the team wants is a rotation player who can make an impact to upgrade the lineup. So far this season, Kuminga has averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His salary this season is US$22.5 million. If Kuminga is sent away to the Warriors, who would be more suitable for him?

Also dissatisfied with the team is the Hornets' LaMelo Ball. Multiple league sources revealed that he is increasingly dissatisfied with the team and is willing to accept a trade to leave the team. It is worth mentioning that the young players in the current Hornets lineup are performing well, especially the performance of the No. 4 pick. It is expected that the Hornets will reintegrate the existing lineup to build new team building ideas.

Due to a right ankle injury, Ball only played in 9 games this season, averaging 21.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Field goal percentage (38.5%) and three-point shooting percentage (29.8%) both hit career lows. Ball's salary this season is as high as 37.9 million U.S. dollars, and after the end of the 2025-26 season, his total contract value in the next three years will still exceed 130 million U.S. dollars. Reporter Kelly Iko added that if both parties are interested in exploring the trade market in the near future, Ball is still young and can still arouse interest across the league. However, his huge contract may be prohibitive to team management. Coupled with his long injury history and criticism about his on-field behavior, this potential transaction is full of variables.

The supermarket here for the Mavericks has also officially opened. With Harrison's dismissal, it means that the team management's deal with Big Eyebrow and Doncic ended in failure. Next, they will make lineup adjustments. According to the disclosed news, the team will rebuild the lineup around Flagg, and 4 players have been revealed to be on the shelf.

Dallas local media Dallas Hoops Journal reported that an anonymous NBA executive revealed that the Mavericks are expected to trade Daggers, Clay, Russell and Gafford. So far this season, Nongmei averaged 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game; Klay averaged 9.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game; Russell averaged 12.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5 assists per game; Gafford averaged 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. Among them, those who need to pay attention to are Deng Mei, Russell and Gafford. In comparison, Clay's transaction value appears to be slightly lower.

The team trade rumors this season came earlier, so these subsequent teams and these players are worthy of attention. There's bound to be excitement ahead of the trade deadline.
