Breaking out! 2 for 1! Wizards announce their withdrawal from the Kumingga battle

3:19am, 7 July 2025【Basketball】

When I woke up, the sky in Jonathan Kumingga was almost collapsed! Because his ideal next Washington Wizards just reached a 2-for-1 deal, and returned to Cam Whitmore from the Rockets. At this point, this means that Kumingga's way to play in Washington was completely blocked, and the Wizards' reserved position for Kumingga was replaced by Whitmore.

According to Shams, a well-known ESPN reporter, the Washington Wizards sent a 2026 second-round pick (from the Bulls) and a 2029 second-round pick (from the Kings) to exchange forward Cam Whitmore from the Houston Rockets. According to well-known journalist Siegel, the Washington Wizards will no longer pursue Warriors forward Jonathan Cumingga after getting Cam Whitmore.

There is no doubt that when the Wizards Rockets reached 2 for 1, Whitmore settled in Washington, the person who was most injured was undoubtedly Warriors forward Kumingga. Because looking at the current free market, the team that best suits his career development and is interested in getting him is the Washington Wizards. As a super bottom team in the league, the Wizards now have no record requirements. In addition, the team's top scorer Jordan Poole left the team this summer, which undoubtedly gives young people in the team more room for growth and mobile phone opportunities. It can be seen from this that the Washington Wizards is definitely Kumingga's most ideal next home, because only in such a relaxed environment can he be able to completely release his offensive talent and meet a better self.

Frankly speaking, the Wizards and the Rockets suddenly reached this 2-for-1 deal about Whitmore, which was really unexpected! Because before this, there were no rumors about the Wizards discussing Whitmore's deal with the Rockets. On the contrary, Whitmore has been frequently associated with the Lakers recently because Whitmore is seen as a bargaining chip for Finney Smith to sign and then exchange. However, the Rockets did not trade Whitmore to the Lakers in the end, but turned around and sent him to the Washington Wizards.

After the Wizards and the Rockets suddenly reached a 2-for-1 and officially announced their withdrawal from the Kumingga battle, this undoubtedly made Kumingga's situation in the free market even more embarrassing and difficult. As of now, Kumingga has not received any quotation contract! Although Sacramento is very interested in it, the Warriors are reluctant to send him to the Western Conference team, which is also a rival. In addition, the chips the Kings can provide cannot impress the Warriors. In this way, this makes the possibility of Kumingga joining the king even more slim!

Bay Area reporter Dieter Kurtenbach once commented: "Jonathan Kumingga's basketball fate is to be the best player there when he goes to an indifferent team, so the Wizards are quite suitable." But no matter how suitable the Wizards are for Kumingga, he now loses the opportunity to play for Washington! I hope Kumingga can finalize his next company in the near future, otherwise it will be more unfavorable for him if he drags it to the future! But you have to hurry up, Mr. Jonathan Cumingga!
