Why will the Warriors do it:

• The warriors need rim protection desperately. Williams is easily a top-10 rim protector in the league when healthy, a great rebounder and outstanding finisher.

• They also need perimeter protection and Matisse is a true savant in that regard.

• A matter of value: if healthy each one of those players is at least as valuable as Kuminga and probably more well being on a great contract. But although they are young they are injury prone and therefore risky. That is why the warriors get them in a bargain for a player that, while having a great upside, doesn't want to be there.

• Curry has only two to three really good years in him. They should build around him. give him defense and depth.

Why will the Blazer do it:

• These players while could be great doesn't fit the timeline. They have at least seven players that needs to get 30 minutes a night not including Grant or Rupert and reep.

• Kuminga does fit the timeline. If Sharpe or Scoot doesn't prove themselves to be the players the Blazer wants them to be he can step up and be a star.

• The Blazer fit Kuminga: outside of Avdija nobody can really create for themselves efficiently and consistently. Kuminga could and would enjoy the free usage of the team has to offer.
