Warriors Weigh Kuminga Trades Amid Offseason Shakeup

The Golden State Warriors are weighing major offseason decisions centered on Jonathan Kuminga, whose diminished role after Jimmy Butler's arrival contrasts with his strong late-playoff performance and rising market value. Kuminga is set to become a restricted free agent, with expectations of a contract between $81–$110 million, prompting trade discussions with teams such as the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, and Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Steve Kerr and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. have both addressed the challenges of maximizing Kuminga's potential within the team's veteran-oriented strategy and are exploring all options, including sign-and-trade scenarios. The Warriors are also considering high-profile trades for players like Jaren Jackson Jr. or even Draymond Green to strengthen their aging core of Curry, Butler, and Green. The urgency for roster upgrades has grown following their playoff exit and Stephen Curry's injury. Team management maintains that Kuminga's value precludes letting him leave without significant compensation.
