Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga becomes trade-eligible on Thursday, Jan. 15, and league sources say no deal is imminent as talks are expected to accelerate ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Sacramento has shown steady interest, with the Lakers among teams that have checked in, and the Bulls and Mavericks also identified as suitors, according to multiple reports.
- Golden State is pursuing wing help, with Michael Porter Jr. viewed as a priority and Trey Murphy III, Malik Monk, and newly linked Jaren Jackson Jr. also on the radar.
- A Porter move likely requires a three-team framework because Brooklyn has shown little interest in taking back Kuminga, and the Nets’ stance on keeping or moving Porter remains unsettled.
- Reporting indicates Brooklyn is seeking two first-round picks (2026 and 2028) in a Porter package that could include Kuminga, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield, while the Warriors have signaled reluctance to part with more than one first as they preserve flexibility.
