Warriors, Kuminga Trade Plans Reportedly Near Ahead February Deadline

Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent with the Golden State Warriors, is seeking a lucrative deal reportedly worth over $30 million per year but faces limited market interest due to salary cap constraints across the NBA. The Warriors are expected to re-sign Kuminga with a mutual understanding that he will be traded before the February deadline, allowing both sides to maintain flexibility and potentially increase his trade value. Although teams like the Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets, and Charlotte Hornets have shown some interest, no serious trade negotiations have materialized yet. Experts suggest Kuminga will likely compromise on a deal with the Warriors and await a trade closer to the deadline, as his role in Golden State remains limited with the presence of established stars. The Sacramento Kings are considered a promising fit for Kuminga’s talents, offering a potential four-year, $95 million contract that could provide him the opportunity to grow away from the Warriors’ system. Until an agreement or trade is reached, Kuminga must stay focused on improving his game to boost his value and secure a favorable future.
