Golden State Warriors Expected to Consider Jonathan Kuminga Trade by February Deadline

News summary

Jonathan Kuminga recently re-signed with the Golden State Warriors on a two-year deal worth $46.8 million, with a team option for the second year. Despite this, multiple reports indicate the Warriors plan to make Kuminga available for trade as soon as he becomes eligible on January 15, 2026, especially if he struggles to solidify a consistent role under coach Steve Kerr. The relationship between Kuminga and the Warriors appears strained after difficult contract negotiations and differing visions for his role, which could motivate a trade before the February 5 deadline. Former coach Michael Malone emphasized the need for improved communication between Kuminga and Kerr to unlock Kuminga's potential, noting his strong performances during the 2025 playoffs when he stepped up in key moments. Teams such as the Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns have shown interest, though the Warriors have held firm on trade offers so far. Kuminga’s future with the Warriors hinges on his early-season play, with a markedly improved version of his game potentially securing his place, while inconsistency may prompt the Warriors to explore trade opportunities.
