The Warriors are interested in getting the Bulls backcourt star? How do you think this is all fake news?

According to the report of TheSteinLine reporter Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors expressed interest in Chicago Bulls backcourt star Josh Giddey, who is currently in free agency, hoping to enable him to join the team's lineup through potential trades or signing and then exchanges. Kiddy is currently a restricted free agent. According to previous news, he hopes to get a multi-year contract with an annual salary of about $30 million, while the Bulls offer a lower offer, about $20 million. Given Kiddy's salary and the current situation of the Warriors, if the Warriors want to reach an agreement, they must send away Jonathan Kuminga, a forward star who is also in a restricted free agent state.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kiddy played 70 games in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 78.1%. In the first round of the playoffs, the team lost to the Miami Heat, Kiddy played 39 minutes and 37 seconds in the game, made 9 of 21 shots, 2 of 7 from the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, and had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.

In the NBA regular season last 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, influenced by the team's coaching staff tactical arrangements, 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%.

From the current situation, since both teams currently have salary caps that exceed the luxury tax line, this means that if a transaction is to be reached, they must find at least a third-party team to accept contracts from certain players in the two teams to make the transaction smoothly. Considering that Kiddy and Kumingga's salary are not low, they may even join the fourth-party team. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to complete such a transaction. The most critical issue is that the adaptability between Kiddy and the Warriors does not seem to be that high, or giving Kiddy a high-paid contract is not of much benefit to the Warriors' long-term development, and it may even be better to keep Kuminga. Therefore, we can basically judge that Fischer's news was probably fake news made up by himself, or news that the Warriors asked him to release.
