Ready to grab it! US media shows 5 big fish in the trading market: Kumingga 4 James beats the letters and ranks first
12:56am, 20 July 2025【Basketball】
Prepare to grab it! After the first wave of major adjustments in the offseason, the trading market temporarily calmed down, but various news and rumors did not stop. For this reason, the US media "hoopshype" also showed five big fish in the trading market based on the attention of the trading market, including Warriors Kumingga ranked fourth, and Lakers James beat Antetokounmpo ranked first.
Fifth place: Anthony Simmons
At the beginning of the offseason, the Celtics got Anthony Simmons when sending Ju Holiday to the Trail Blazers.
Due to Tatum's serious injury, it is difficult for the Celtics to develop substantial competitiveness in the championship in the new season, so Anthony Simmons, who has only one year left in the contract, quickly fell into trading rumors.
First, ESPN famous reporter Wenhorst broke the news on the show that compared to buying a house, Anthony Simmons should be more anxious about where to rent a house, because he is very likely to be traded again before the end of the summer league.
This statement was also proof of another famous reporter Marc Stein, who also revealed on the podcast that the Celtics planned to continue to sell Anfini Simmons.
4th place: Kumingga
If you look at the possibility of leaving the team and the number of messages, Kumingga should have a higher ranking, because until now, he has been looking for opportunities to sign first and then exchange with the Warriors.
Originally, the Heat, the Bulls and the Kings were active suitors, but according to Shams, the enthusiasm of the three teams to pursue him has been greatly reduced.
famous reporter Michael Scotto pointed out that the Nets, which have cap space, are not very interested in him. Instead, Brett Siegel revealed that the Suns have always been interested in Kumingga.
As the market response gradually became flat, Kumingga and his team also lowered their salary requirements, which was different from last year's contract that wanted to get an annual salary of 35 million yuan.
Currently, Kumingga is willing to accept a contract with an annual salary of 25 million, even if it is a short contract, but he does not want to return to the Warriors, which is the main reason why the teams within the league do not actively pursue him and try to lower the price.
3rd place: Wiggins
At the beginning of the offseason, TA reporter Zach Lowe revealed that the Lakers were interested in Wiggins, but the two sides seemed to have not reached a consensus on the bargaining chips, resulting in no obvious progress in negotiations.
Lakers reporter Dan Woike also pointed out in the latest report that the Lakers' enthusiasm for Wiggins is dissipating and this topic can end.
Heat local journalist Ira Winderman also said that the Heat plans to bring Wiggins to training camp.
Heat coach Spoul also confirmed the authenticity of the news in an interview with the Sun Sentinels, and said that the team's plan is to integrate Wiggins into and adapt to the team system.
But combined with James' fallen into trade rumors and the habitual pull during the offseason team negotiations, everything is likely to change at any time before Wiggins officially enters training camp.
Second place: Antetokounmpo
If you follow the star level and ability, Antetokounmpo will undoubtedly win the top spot, but judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Antetokounmpo will leave the team.
The Bucks president Peter Feigin and Jon Horst's speech after completing a series of low-priced contract renewals are not difficult to hear their confidence in leaving Antetokounmpo.
But this does not completely dispel other teams' hope of poaching Antetokounmpo, including the New York Knicks.
New York local journalist Ian Begley pointed out incisively that apart from preparing to compete for Antetokounmpo, it is difficult to explain why the Knicks have been delaying in renewing Bridges' contract so far in the offseason.
In addition to the Knicks, for example, the Rockets, which can pack 5 first-round picks in one go, also have the ability and bargaining chips to poach Antetokounmpo.
No. 1: James
James ranked first not because his star level and ability are higher than Antetokounmpo who was at his peak, but because the media voice and discussion are greater.
In fact, whether it is ESPN's McMahon's report, Vincenster's series of revelations, or even the follow-up refutation of rumors, James' chances of leaving the Lakers are very small.
On the one hand, James, who has a big contract, has limited transaction value. Any team that takes over him needs to face major changes in the lineup, with unequal risks and returns. On the other hand, the Lakers do not want to take over the multi-year contract and hope to leave room for Doncic for 27 years, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of teams that are actually capable of introducing James.
