Kumingga joins forces with Westbrook? Two talented monsters are expected to help the new owner rise. I am happy to see Westbrook again

In this 2025 offseason, NBA players are happy and sad.

Some players have obtained large contracts that satisfy themselves during the offseason, such as the Thunder Third Young Master, Alexander, Chett and Jay Levitra, who have all renewed their maximum salary contracts with the team. The annual salary in the future will be above 50 to 60 million US dollars, which is definitely a great winner in life.

There are also some players who have not been able to wait for a contract that satisfies themselves so far during the offseason, and some have not even found a job.

For example, the Warriors' contract renewal problem with the Warriors is now in a stagnant stage, and the Warriors have been considering trading him.

There are also veterans like Westbrook and Ben Simmons, who were once the most powerful superstars in the league, but are still waiting to be sold in the free market and have not completed the signing.

A very interesting situation is that Westbrook and Kumingga, two players who were very disappointed in the offseason, are likely to become teammates in the new season.

Forbes reporter Evan Sidery reported that the king hopes to obtain both Kuminga and Westbrook, which is their dream (result).

Sidery said that while the King negotiated with the Warriors to sign for Kuminga, Westbrook was also waiting for the result of this matter.

The Kings' team has revealed that the team has provided Cuminga with a three-year, $63 million contract, including sending Monk and their own first-round pick in 2030 (loto protection) to the Warriors.

Westbrook and Kumingga are both players with excellent physical fitness but not outstanding basketball IQ. He was teased by many fans as stupid and unhappy. But no matter what, these two people are extremely talented players, and Westbrook can even play the role of a mentor for Kumingga.

The Kings hope to get these two people at the same time, and they also want to add some depth and athletic ability to the team. If Westbrook can join forces with Kumingga in the Kings, it is very likely to improve the Kings' record, and it is not impossible for this team to return to the playoffs.

However, the possibility of Westbrook winning the championship is slim. But for Westbrook fans, it is enough to see Westbrook play on the court again and show a happy smile.

To be honest, the operational ideas of the King's management are indeed quite unique. They always like to want players they don't want, and want to scrape the lottery tickets themselves, but the result is always the opposite.

The Kings now have this lineup team, Schroeder, Raven, DeRozan, Murray, and Sa. Now they still want Westbrook and Kumingga. This lineup obviously has no defensive ability, and it seems that they can only attack big.

Westbrook and Kumingga were on the court at the same time, and with Sa Sa and DeRozan, none of them had a reliable three-point shooting, and the space was too poor. The King's operations in recent years have been really fascinated. All those who can be trained as the foundation of the team building have been replaced, leaving behind a bunch of those who have no training value.

Perhaps the king's idea is: don't think about winning the championship, it's good to play, and it's enough to ensure that tickets are sold.

For Westbrook, after struggling for a summer, it would be an acceptable result if he could play at the Kings. Westbrook's contract breaks out this year is just two points. First, he has won 500 middle class performance in the past season, so there should be no big problem; second, he wants to play for a team closer to his hometown and have enough playing time to play.

Westbrook is a California native. The king is located in Sacramento. At present, the king who matches his salary is Westbrook's first choice. Let's wait quietly for the news that the king trades Kuminga and Westbrook signs the king!
