Who will be traded before the deadline? US media posted the top 5 list: Kumingga made an early layout of 48.5 million in 2 years

Who is most likely to be traded before the deadline? As the new season training camp began, the US media "cbssports" released a list of the top 5, of which Kumingga made an early layout for renewal of 48.5 million in two years.

Fifth place: After Rozier

Butler left the team, the Heat fell into a crossroads of team building. Especially after trying to bet on Hero to fill the gap, the Heat were extremely eager to introduce another star to reshape the lineup, and Rozier was one of the potential bargaining chips.

team reporter Barry Jackson once revealed that the Heat have been discussing how to deal with Rozier. If he is cut off directly (paid 24.9 million of his 26 million salary), the Heat can immediately make room to sign the interested inside player Achouwa.

But the Heat management would rather keep Rozier in an attempt to make it part of the salary balance of a star who is on a big contract. Since his contract is only one year left, the deal deadline will be the Heat's deadline for him to handle him.

4th place: Claybel

As a by-product of the Lakers' deal with Doncic, Claybel's contract is only one year left, worth $11 million. The reason why he was selected on the list has nothing to do with his ability, but because of the Lakers' strong demand for strengthening and salary matching.

Following James's offseason execution of the player option to stay in the team and forced the palace to strengthen the team, The Athletic's Lakers' record Dan Woike revealed that Doncic's outstanding performance in the European Championship after losing weight also forced the Lakers to strengthen the championship as soon as possible.

Since Claybel's contract is about to expire, the Lakers are very likely to use it as a bargaining chip for balancing salary in a big deal before the trade deadline.

Third place: Kuzma

Kuzma played an irreplaceable role during the Lakers' championship, which made him favored by the Wizards, who once tried to rebuild the team around Kuzma and Poole as cores.

Success Kuzma's performance after the ball rights were increased was extremely poor, and his personal offensive efficiency was extremely inefficient. What's worse is that after joining the Bucks last season, Kuzma can no longer deliver his former efficient 3D forward performance.

Considering that his contract exceeds $20 million, the Bucks are doing their best to strengthen to please Antetokounmpo stay. If Kuzma cannot rebound strongly, he will definitely become the next player to be traded by the Bucks.

Second place: After Anthony Simmons

Tatum suffered a serious injury, the Celtics regarded the new season as a "transition year", so they cleared out veterans such as Ju Holiday and Horford in the offseason to free up their salary space and reduce the amount of luxury tax payment.

The most important operation is to complete the exchange between Ju Holiday and Anfini Simmons. Compared with veteran Ju Holiday, Anfini Simmons has a lower annual salary, and the contract only last year is left.

Even so, Anthony Simmons is very likely to be traded because the Celtics also have two players in the backcourt, White and Prichard, who can eat a lot of ball rights and rotation time.

No. 1: Kumingga

After pulling the entire offseason, the Warriors finally reached an agreement with Kumingga on renewal when training camp began, signing a new contract worth $48.5 million in two years and including team options in the second year.

Although some concessions were made in terms of amounts, the Warriors convinced Kumingga to give up the trade veto. It is obvious that both sides are preparing to re-enter the trading market before the new season's trading deadline.

Therefore, the US media ESPN also gave a B+ high score for this contract renewal. Unless Kumingga can deliver explosive improvement and transformation in the new season, Kumingga will be sold by the Warriors after the trading ban is lifted on January 15, 2026.
