One big decision the Warriors have yet to make is what to do about Jonathan Kuminga, who remains unsigned and is a polarizing player both for Golden State and around the league.Recently, Gilbert Arenas took to his own \u201cGil&#8217;s Arena Show\u201d podcast with an idea that would send Kuminga to the Chicago Bulls.\u201cThey\u2019re looking like they\u2019d try to go after like a (Josh) Giddey type. That\u2019s their type of player. Giddey,\u201d said Arenas of the Warriors.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast guest Nick Young also weighed in on the idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor sure Giddey. Oh he\u2019d love Giddey. That\u2019d be his favorite new position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Arenas then broke down what Giddey&#8217;s potential fit in a Warriors jersey would look like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019d put Giddey at the one,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019d put him at the Point and say, \u2018Yeah, just do you.\u2019 Now they have a guy who\u2019s going to rebound, pass the ball, shoot like he\u2019ll hit shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>An interesting idea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3439709\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3439709\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Josh-Giddey-of-the-Bulls.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Gilbert Arenas floats Josh Giddey for Jonathan Kuminga Warriors swap\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3439709\">David Banks-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Complicating Gilbert Arenas&#8217; idea is the fact that Josh Giddey is also currently a restricted free agent and is widely expected to return to the Chicago Bulls, who traded for him last summer, on a new, lucrative contract.<\/p>\n<p>However, in theory, the idea of Giddey on the Warriors could be enticing. Giddey is an outstanding playmaker at 6&#8217;8\u2033, able to see above the defense and make solid reads. As history has proven, Stephen Curry is more than comfortable playing off the ball at times,\u00a0 using the threat of his all-time great shooting and incredible stamina to keep defenses off balance while Giddey would theoretically orchestrate the offense.<\/p>\n<p>Giddey also showed signs of an improved outside jumper down the stretch of last season for the Bulls, but it remains to be seen whether that was evidence of a long-term change of just a blip on the radar.<\/p>\n<p>While a Giddey-Kuminga swap seems unlikely at best, this is the time of the offseason when fans&#8217; minds start to wander.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gilbert Arenas believes that Josh Giddey would be a good fit alongside Stephen Curry for the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":77983,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[10,95,473,45],"class_list":["post-77977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-jonathan-kuminga","tag-josh-giddey","tag-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
