Arenas proposed a trade plan to exchange Josh Gidey for Warriors Kumingga, adapting to Curry

Gilbert Arenas believes that Josh Gidey and Stephen Curry's partnership is very suitable for the Golden State Warriors.

So far, the Golden State Warriors' offseason has been relatively calm, and most of the time they have chosen to use the lineup that was eliminated in the second round of last season. One big decision the Warriors have not made yet is how to deal with Jonathan Cumingga. Kumingga has not signed yet and is controversial in both the Golden State Warriors and the league.

Recently, Gilbert Arenas proposed an idea to send Kumingga to the Chicago Bulls on his own podcast show, "The Arena Show of Jill."

"They look like they're going to try to chase players like Josh Giddey. Giddey is their type of player," Arenas said of the Warriors.

podcast guest Nick Young also expressed his opinion on the idea.

"Of course it's Giddy. Oh, he'll love Giddy. That's his favorite new position," he said.

Arenas then analyzed Gidey's potential performance after wearing the Warriors jersey.

"They will put Giddy in the number one position," he said. "They would put him in the point guard and say, 'Okay, let him play.' Now they have a player who can grab rebounds, passes, shoot very well." An interesting idea Gilbert Arenas's idea is even more complicated, as Josh Gidey is also a restricted free agent at the moment, and he is generally expected to return to the Chicago Bulls traded last summer with a generous new contract.

However, in theory, the idea of ​​Gidedy joining the Warriors might be attractive. At 6-foot-8 (about 1.9 meters), Gidey is an excellent organizational core who can break through defense and make precise reading games. History has proven that Stephen Curry is sometimes very good at running off the ball, using his best shooting ability and amazing endurance in history to break the defensive balance, while Giddy can theoretically organize the offense.

Gidy also showed improvements in his outside jump shot ability during last season for the Bulls, but whether this is just a flash in the pan and heralds his long-term changes remains to be seen.

Although the exchange between Giddy and Kumingga seems unlikely to happen, it is now the offseason and the fans' thoughts are starting to float.
