Most of the NBA offseason activity has already occurred, yet restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga is still waiting to learn which team he’ll be playing for. Returning to the Golden State Warriors doesn’t seem to be an option, despite him being a restricted free agent.
Meanwhile, the Warriors would prefer to get something in return for the former No. 7 overall pick, rather than see him leave and get nothing at all.
A few teams have registered interest in making a trade with the Warriors, including the Sacramento Kings. While previous reports indicated that the Warriors would do just about anything to prevent trading Kuminga to their in-state rival, they may not have much of a choice.
Recently, Clutch Points’ Brett Siegel revealed exactly what the Kings’ trade offer for Kuminga is. According to Siegel, they’re willing to offload last year’s first-round pick Devin Carter, plus Dario Saric, and a protected future first-round pick if it means getting Kuminga in return. Unfortunately, the Warriors have no interest in that offer.
“The Kings have signaled that they are willing to part ways with talents like Devin Carter, Dario Saric, and a protected first-round pick for the Warriors’ forward. This is a proposal that Golden State has not given any thought to and immediately turned down. Malik Monk is another name who has come up in trade talks from Sacramento this offseason, but his contract isn’t one that the Dubs have expressed interest in.”

Meanwhile, Siegel notes that the Warriors have shown some interest in Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis, though it’s not yet known whether the Kings would put either player on the trade table for Kuminga.
