I have no opinion on Kuminga either way, but I lean toward your assessment and have no delusion about him. The evaluation is more Kuminga vs. other offers. Like who is better Kuminga or Risacher?
But logically there must be some significant compensation for the Mavs to take Green instead of Kuminga in a three-way trade, which I have now seen proposed multiple times.
Green is just a crazy has been on an expiring contract. Kuminga is a young maybe with a team option. If you don´t like what you see from Kuminga, you can just waive him in the summer. If he suddenly becomes a downhilll force in Dallas and shoots 38% from three. Then you can just keep him for another 12 months to see whether it´s sustainable or you keep him to re-trade him. Either way Kuminga is a MUCH better asset than Draymond. I don´t see a reason to accept that thug over Kuminga unless somebody throws picks the Mavs way.
