According to US sports media F/W reporter Eddie Bitar. The Warriors must be clear about their goals for the 2025-26 season: to chase another championship in Curry's twilight years while living a uncertain future with Curry. With contract negotiations between Kumingga and management reaching a deadlock, the Warriors may need to quickly adjust their direction. Pairing Curry with Butler and Green gives the Warriors a shrinking but real championship window, and adding a shooting guard like White and a versatile organizing ability Dosenmu may be the shock their roster needs. A bold, winning now move may be the only way to exploit it before the window slams.

For the Kings, the chances of getting Kuminga may reshape their caps. Since Fox is no longer joining, there is motivation and asset attack in search of a new star to coach the team, while the Warriors weigh their options. The Bulls became a key enabler of the idea of ​​this three-team trade, parting ways with White and Dosem in exchange for future-oriented assets that are more in line with their rebuild. With all three teams able to meet their needs, the proposed blockbuster is engaging for each side.

Suggested deal details

Warriors received: White, Dossomur

Kings received: Kuminga, Moody

Bulls received: Monk, 2028 Kings first-round draft pick, 2030 Warriors first-round draft pick, 2031 Kings second-round draft pick, Warriors added a capable backup point guard, this deal maximizes Curry's championship window while meeting their two biggest needs: reliable shooting and a stable backup point guard. White performed well last season (20.4 points, 4.5 assists and 37.0% 3-point shooting percentage average), and he immediately gave the Golden State Warriors a "Splash Brother Lite" to play alongside Curry and Jimmy Butler.

His stretch defense and dribble creation add a new level to the Warriors' offense, which often collapses without Curry's presence. Also valuable is the addition of Dosenmu, a versatile defender who can handle secondary organizational responsibilities and defend multiple positions. When Curry sat, he offered the Warriors a trusted option to manage the offense, allowing head coach Cole to maintain the offense without relying too much on Green's organizational abilities. His defensive toughness also cooperated well with Butler, strengthening the Warriors' wing depth. The Kings ended up losing only one player and one draft pick, adding Kuminga, a high-potential, athletic forward (15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists) who can grow with young Murray. At just 22, Kumingga still has untapped potential, and Sacramento is counting on him growing into a two-way cornerstone in a larger role. The acquisition of him is expensive, but controls: Malik Monk and future draft picks.

Kuminga's addition gives Sacramento a dimension they lack, a sporty wing that can defend elite forwards and thrive in transitions. His chopping ability, defensive versatility and improved shooting ability from the outside make him an ideal complement to the Kings' offensive system. The Bulls received a large amount of reconstruction assets. This deal represents a necessary shift to the future. The Bulls can get long-term assets that are more in line with their rebuild schedule. Provides flexibility for lineup reset. Teams can be built through drafts or packed up stars when appropriate. This move also conveys a message to the fan community: the Bulls are finally committed to real reconstruction.
