Here it comes! The latest trade destination for Kuminga! Reports suggest he will replace the 36-year-old All-Star.

Reporter Slater: Kuminga has met with Kings GM Scott Perry and head coach Doug Christie.The reporter also mentioned that Kuminga is open to joining the Kings.

Previously, reporter Siegel reported that the Kings are willing to offer Davion Mitchell, Saric, and a protected first-round pick to obtain Kuminga from the Warriors.

Could it be that Kuminga's destination issue is finally about to be settled? Once this guy is traded, the Warriors will immediately sign Horford and Melton.

It is worth mentioning that the Kings have also promised Kuminga a starting and core position, similarly to the Suns. This 22-year-old forward started 10 of 47 regular season games last season for the Warriors, averaging 24.3 minutes, 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. In the playoffs, he appeared in 8 games, starting once, averaging 23.4 minutes, contributing 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.

Kings blogger Stiles commented on this,The Kings have reached a verbal agreement with DeRozan; if they successfully acquire Kuminga, he will be traded.

Last summer, DeRozan joined the Kings on a three-year, $73.89 million deal. He started all 77 games last season, averaging 35.9 minutes, 22.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.7%. He is about to celebrate his 36th birthday, and the contract he is currently executing has salaries of $24.75 million and $25.74 million for the next two seasons.

Since LaVine joined the Kings, DeRozan has been starting as the small forward. If Kuminga comes in, he naturally has to go, but considering his age and contract, his trade value is very low, and a buyout might be necessary. In short, this will lead to prolonged negotiations.

If DeRozan enters the buyout market, he will become a hot target for teams. Despite his age, his scoring ability remains formidable, ranking 8th in the league for one-on-one situations and points per possession last season.

What more can be said? Best wishes to both Kuminga and DeRozan for a bright future!
