We already have two guys who's best position is probably PF and you are trading for a third. I don't think its good for Flagg development and I don't think its a good situation to rehab Kuminga value.
I think there is a pretty easy path to making this work. The top nine in the rotation is basically two centers, two SG's and two PG's with Flagg, PJ and Kuminga splitting 96 minutes at the three and four. Two of the three are on the court at all times. Nothing we are doing is permanent. We are tearing down Nico's vision which will take a series of trades. This is a trade that leads to other trades for me.
And, there is some chance Kuminga works. He's had a .370 three point shooting season and a 4.6 WS season and a season where he was +4.2 on court for the season. He's had three seasons where his TS% was right at .600. He is athletic, rebounds well and he's only 23. Somewhere in there might be a useful player.
