15.3→26.3! Kumingga made a fortune in the semi-finals, and the three Eastern teams were revealed to be interested

Golden State Warriors were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals and they suffered some doom in the game this season. After defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs, they entered the NBA playoffs as No. 7 in the Western Conference. But in the first round of the playoffs against the Houston Rockets, Jimmy Butler suffered a tailbone injury.

So during Butler's injury, head coach Steve Cole was forced to reinsert Jonathan Cumingga into the rotation lineup to make up for the lack of breakthrough ability in the lineup. However, when Butler returned, Kumingga's playing time dropped sharply again, but when Stephen Curry was injured in the first game of the second round against the Timberwolves, Kumingga was entrusted to reuse again.

Kuminga also seized the opportunity, averaging 26.3 points in the Western Conference semi-finals, while he averaged only 15.3 points in the regular season. Through this playoff semi-final performance, Kumingga is likely to improve his market value and reminds the entire league of his ability to attack the basket with the ball. According to well-known journalist Brett Segal, the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat are three teams that may be interested in Cumingga this summer.

Kuminga's improvement in the playoffs is a good thing for the Warriors, although he may arouse more interest from other teams, leading to a surge in his market value and a significant increase in the probability of leaving the team. But he was a restricted free agent this summer, which gave the Warriors a chance to match any offer Kuminga received and could induce the three teams interested in signing and then switching, thus gaining some assets. In general, Kumingga may be the best bargaining chip for the Warriors to strengthen their lineup strength based on their existing core lineup.
