Tielin: Kumingga deserves to be the core of the team, but the Warriors still just use him as a trading chip

October 2 News Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Kumingga's contract renewal with the Warriors (a 48.5 million team option for two years) in his channel "Danny Greenx InsidetheGreenRoom".

Speaking of Kumingga's position for the Warriors in the new season, Green said: "I think he will be the same as last season. I just don't think they will reuse him or use him the way they should. As you said, he is a short-term passerby. I think they use him as a trading bait and try to find him a next home for someone else, and I think that will hurt them in the long run. This is a young man you should build a team around him, and you somehow only find some veterans to come in."

"But Kumingga should, could have been one of the core teams, but I don't think he won't, or end up staying there for the whole time."
