Warriors Field Sign-And-Trade Offers For Restricted Free Agent Jonathan Kuminga

Jonathan Kuminga's future with the Golden State Warriors remains uncertain as the 2025 NBA free agency unfolds, with no deal reached through early July. Kuminga is a restricted free agent with a $7.9 million qualifying offer from the Warriors, who are considering a sign-and-trade deal amid interest from six teams, notably the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards. The Kings have made a trade offer involving players and draft picks, but the Warriors have been reluctant to accept a buy-low proposal, while the Wizards have gained momentum as a strong contender in their rebuilding efforts. Kuminga showed promise late in the 2024-25 season, particularly in the playoffs, which has increased his trade value, though the Warriors may retain him if no suitable offers emerge. Additional teams such as the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, and Brooklyn Nets have expressed varying levels of interest, making the market competitive yet stalled. The outcome of Kuminga's status could be decided during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where parties plan to meet if negotiations remain unresolved.
