It is revealed that Kumingga is expected to stay in the team! Are the original teams of the Warriors winning? The old center may gain something

On June 12, two Warriors team reporters Anthony Slater and Kawakami jointly recorded a podcast to analyze the Warriors' operations this summer. Slater expects projection center Slater to stay in the team, and substitute center Teres Jackson Davis will also stay in the team. In addition, Slater also believes that Kuminga is expected to stay with the Warriors as well. Once Kuminga stays in the team, the Warriors basically don’t have much room to operate this summer. Then the Warriors are more likely to retain the original team and play for another season.

Srat also analyzed whether the Warriors would pursue Markanen. The Warriors once pursued Markkanen in the 2024 offseason, but the latter finally chose to renew his contract with the Jazz for 5 years and $238 million, which is the largest contract in the history of the Jazz. The previous team record was Gobert's 5 years and $205 million. Markkanen's contract now has four years and $195.8 million left.

Recently, there has been news that the Jazz is willing to listen to quotes about Markkanen and Kessler, and everyone in the team can sell it. Markkanen played 47 regular season games for the Jazz in 24-25, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, scoring 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting percentage of 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.6%. Obviously, Markkanen's performance last season was not worthy of this maximum salary contract, and he was more likely to be injured.

The Warriors are no longer interested in Markkanin, who has a large contract and a low attendance rate.

Kuminga's stay and leave is the highlight of the Warriors this summer. If you trade Kumingga by signing first and then changing, you can dig up good players. But leaving Kuminga is also an option.

Kumingga was once abandoned by coach Cole this year's playoffs, but after he regained his chance to play, he performed well on the offensive end. Kumingga averaged 27.4 minutes per game in the Western Conference semi-finals, scoring 20.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists, shooting 54.3% from the field, 42.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 74.1% from free throw percentage.

coach Cole doesn't mind Kumingga's return. He said at the season summary meeting: "If Kumingga returns, we will try Butler, Green, Curry and Kumingga's lineup combination in the early stages of next season, which is certain. Last season, we didn't have such opportunities and space."

This summer, Kumingga's market will not be very high, and even teams interested in him will not give him a big contract. Therefore, if the Warriors give a contract renewal offer is relatively good, then the possibility of Kumingga staying behind will be higher. In addition, Warriors boss Lakob likes Kumingga very much, which is also an important reason why Kumingga may stay.

The Warriors set the tone at the season summary meeting to build a team around the Big Three Curry, Butler and Zhu Meng, focusing on strengthening the center position. According to Slater, if Kumingga, Post and Tres Jackson Davis stayed in the team, then Looney was more likely to leave.

Warriors can sign for center forward in the free agent market. Adams, Brooke Lopez, Capela, and Horford are all choices. Of course, these centers are still quite popular, and the Lakers are also eager to strengthen the center, and these people are also the Lakers' signing targets. The Warriors hold four first-round picks that can be traded this summer, and the team can take out some chips to use in the trading market. If a suitable target appears, the Warriors will take action without hesitation. After all, Warriors boss Lacob is one of the most daring bosses in the league to burn money.
