Overview

  • Restricted free-agency talks for Jonathan Kuminga have stalled with no significant traction despite interest from the Kings, Heat and Wizards.
  • Golden State rejected Sacramento’s proposal of Devin Carter, Dario Šarić and two second-round picks, viewing it as a buy-low attempt.
  • The Warriors insist on receiving a promising young player plus a first-round pick in any sign-and-trade deal for the 22-year-old forward.
  • NBA salary-cap constraints and base-year compensation rules are limiting potential returns and complicating trade valuations.
  • A meeting in Las Vegas next week during Summer League is set to be the next opportunity to advance stalled negotiations and chart a path forward.
