New Three-Team Proposal Sends Kuminga to Suns, Hunter to Warriors

A Bleacher Report mock trade outlines a pick-free path to shift Jonathan Kuminga for De'Andre Hunter.

Overview

  • Bleacher Report’s concept has Golden State receiving De'Andre Hunter, Phoenix landing Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis, and Cleveland adding Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Nick Richards.
  • The scenario is framed as an idea rather than active negotiations and requires no draft picks, with eligibility now allowing Kuminga to be dealt immediately.
  • For Golden State, Hunter is a near salary match and recent 3-and-D producer, highlighted by 15.9 points per game and 37.1% from three over the past two seasons cited by the proposal.
  • Phoenix is positioned as a logical destination given prior reported interest in Kuminga, including a past push for a sign-and-trade worth up to $90 million.
  • Cleveland’s return is pitched as defensive help and cost relief, with the modeling projecting $5.5 million saved this season and $11.3 million next season.
