The Warriors are quite interested in the two Pelicans stars, and they hope to use Kuminga s sign to complete the transaction

US media Clutchpoints reporter Brett Siegel recently posted a message to talk about the situation of former Golden State Warriors forward star Jonathan Kuminga, who is currently in a restricted free agent state.

Siegel said the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans are two potential traders that are worthy of attention. Since the free market opened, the King has made it clear that Kumingga is the target they hope to pursue, and their new management has also been trying to create more salary space to get Kumingga's path. That's exactly why Malik Monk was put on the shelves and the possibility that the team is actively seeking to trade him. Siegel also said that so far, there is no sign that the Pelicans are interested in giving away two players, Trey Murphy or Herbert Jones, in the trade. Judging from the current situation, if these two players enter the trading market, they will attract a large number of suitors. Sources also told Siegel that the Warriors would be very interested if they had the opportunity to win either Murphy and Jones in a potential sign-on and then exchange deal with Cumingel.

In the NBA regular season last season, Murphy was affected by injury and played 53 games in 82 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, with averaging 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage 36.1%, and 88.7% free throw shooting percentage. In the NBA regular season last season, Jones played 20 games in 82 games, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, with averaging 10.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, 1.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 43.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 82.5%.

Murphy and Jones were both affected by injuries to varying degrees last season, which led to their condition. However, from the actual situation, Murphy has shown the potential of an excellent scorer. He has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring ability. Jones is the league's recognized top outside gate. He has excellent personal defensive ability and can undertake a lot of tasks on the defensive end. Considering the nature of the expiration contract of Kumingga, if the Warriors hope to get one of Murphy and Jones by signing first and then changing, they would have to spend a lot of money, otherwise what reason does the Pelicans have to let go of excellent players like Murphy and Jones without any benefit?
