Potential trade prelude? The Bulls are interested in the Warriors forward star, and the Warriors are interested in the Bulls inside player?

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, a league source revealed to him that Golden State Warriors forward star Jonathan Kuminga is looking for a bigger and more stable role. However, league sources also said that as a potential signing and trading candidate for Cuminga, the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are two worth paying attention to. However, the Warriors did not rule out the possibility of leaving Kuminga.

Michael Scott also said that in the middle of this season, the Warriors were interested in getting starting center Nikola Vucevic from the Bulls through a trade. Next season, Vucevic will usher in the final year of his current contract, with his salary of $21.48 million next season. Vucevic's playing style, shooting and rebounding ability are all very good. His characteristics are very attractive to the Warriors. The Warriors believe that he can perfectly match the Warriors' current system.

In the NBA regular season this season, Kumingga only played 47 games in 82 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 30.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.8%. In the playoffs, due to the influence of the coaching staff's tactical arrangement, Kumingga only got 8 play opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, with averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71%.

In the NBA regular season this season, Vucevic played a total of 73 games in 82 games, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, averaging 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 53% from the field, 40.2% from three-point shooting percentage and 80.5% from free throws. In the first round of the playoffs, the team lost to the Miami Heat, Vucevic played 38 minutes and 05 seconds in the game, made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 5 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 16 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

Considering that Kumingga may seek a contract with an average salary of $25-30 million in the free market this summer, his asking price is also relatively close to Vucevic's salary next season. If the Bulls are really interested in Kumingga, it is unlikely that both parties will complete the sign-first and then exchange transaction. Bulls need stronger talents, and Kumingga can also play a more important role in Bulls. The Warriors need to strengthen the inside line, and Vucevic, who has rich experience and comprehensive abilities and delicate skills, looks like a good candidate. Maybe Cumingga and Vucevic will really be able to change their boss this summer?
