Help the Warriors trade Kumingga? US media shows the four reasonable next players of Monk: Rockets rank first

Help the Warriors trade Kuminga? With the Kings and the Warriors in a trade dilemma and the Rockets are facing a major blow to starter point guard Van Jordan as the new season is approaching, US media revealed that Monk's four reasonable next companies, among which the Rockets rank first, and are expected to help the Warriors and the Kings reach a deal around Kumingga.

The Warriors Kings are in a dilemma

According to the Athletic famous reporter Sam Amick, the Kings and the Warriors restarted the trading negotiations of Kumingga one month later, but the progress is still limited.

The obstacles come from two aspects. The first point is the issue of trading salary balance. Due to the "base year clause" that Kumingjia signs any contract, it can only be calculated at 50% of the amount in the transaction.

This forced the Warriors to include Hilde or Moody in the trade to complete the salary balance, and the Kings were unwilling to make concessions at this point.

The second point is that the Warriors have no intention of getting Monk, the latter of which is the player the Kings have been trying to give in the Kuminga trade, hoping to package Monk with a protected first-round pick to pursue Kuminga. The reason why the Warriors are unwilling to get Monk, a super six-level scorer is mainly because the team already has too deep personnel reserves in the backcourt and no need to introduce other defenders with overlapping functions.

At the same time, Monk's contract has many years left, including the player options for the 27-28 season. The Warriors hope to make room for superstars such as Jokic and Antetokounmpo in the summer of 2027, so they are unwilling to take over Monk.

US media sends four next players

For this reason, US media "fansided" advises the Kings, and can try to pull a third party in the trade to take over Monk, thereby adjusting the returns received by the Warriors to complete the Kumingga transaction, with the Rockets leading the roster of the four teams.

4th place: Pacers

Due to Halliburton's serious injury, the inside core Turner left the team in the offseason. The Pacers were selected as the biggest loser in the offseason by the US media "clutchpoints".

If the Pacers still hope to make the playoffs in the new season, it would be a good choice to introduce Monk with appropriate chips. The latter has both ball-free ability, and the excellent athletic ability and high-level conversion and offensive performance make him very suitable for the fast-paced Pacers.

3rd place: Suns

Suns sold Durant at a cheap price in the offseason and bought out Bill, completely bidding farewell to the era of the Big Three, trying to rebuild the team around Booker and Jaylen Green.

The Suns' lineup is currently in an embarrassing state of being neither up nor down. If they still hope to remain competitive in the new season to strive for the playoffs, then introducing Monk will be a reasonable choice.

Especially when Bill and Tyers Jones left the team, the Suns had problems with the depth of the backcourt and needed to introduce more defenders with the ball.

Second place: Magic

Compared with the Suns and the Pacers, Magic and Munch are more suitable choices. The Magic have top-level defensive abilities and complement the offensive scorer Munch.

Even though Bain and Tyers Jones were introduced in the offseason, the Magic still needed the shooting and second ball holding ability provided by Monk.

No doubt, the top spot belongs to the Rockets, they are the upgraded version of the Magic. At the same time, after Van Jordan was reimbursed for the season, the depth of the backcourt was even worse than that of the Magic.

At the beginning of the new season, we can almost only expect Amen and Shepard to take responsibility. If the performance of the two is not ideal, then the Rockets can completely buy Monk at a low price.

Monk, a super six-level player with a famous scoring ability, is seriously underestimated in his organizational ability. He averaged a career-high 5.6 assists per game last season, and he has full hope of playing the second ball-holding point in the Rockets to share the pressure on the backcourt.
