The Heat has no hope of pursuing Durant, Kumingga enters the management vision, and the US media gives his next odds

US media has published consecutive articles saying that the Heat is expected to become a potential suitor of Kuminga. The Warriors are open to keeping Kuming's blessing and have the same attitude towards signing and exchange transactions.

Kuminga had previously publicly stated that he hoped to play a more important role, and for this reason he has been training alone in Cleveland. His recent training is mainly to improve his shooting percentage. According to Kuuminga himself, his skills, strength, thoughts and confidence have been greatly improved. After the draft, the US media NBACentral also posted the latest odds list about Kumingga, with the Heat leading the odds with +200, the Nets ranked behind, with +295, and the Bulls ranked third, with +400 odds, followed by the Pistons, Hawks, Pacers, Suns, and Magic.

Kumingga has certain visions for his future. He clearly stated in the interview: I want to be an All-Star and I want to be selected many times. My goal is to become an excellent player. No matter where I go, whether in the Warriors or any other team, my goal will not change.

Kuminga's talent is unquestionable, but his technical shortcomings (projection, decision-making, and defense details) clearly limit his development. He is prone to fake moves when defending alone, and is prone to sending fouls at critical moments. The assisted defense rate is only 34.7%, and the frame protection accuracy is 0.8% at the bottom of the league. It is prone to lose position when replacing defense.

The opponent's shooting percentage can be improved when facing him, and his three-point instability greatly compresses the Warriors' offensive space, allowing the opponent to dare to let him go.

In the Warriors' pass-cut system, if he cannot reduce inefficient singles and improves the stability of off-ball running and three-pointers, he may become a typical case of "not fulfilling his talent".

Although Warriors general manager Deng Liwei expressed his willingness to stay Kumingga, the salary requirements of both sides are not in the same direction, which is also the main reason why the US media gave his next odds.
