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.
