Overview
- Speaking on The Tom Tolbert Show, Kerr said players want direct communication delivered with empathy, noting Kuminga’s family responsibilities and five years with the team.
- Kerr compared Kuminga’s situation to Andrew Wiggins last season, when Wiggins’ name circulated before Golden State dealt him to Miami in the Jimmy Butler trade.
- Kuminga has moved in and out of the rotation and is averaging 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 18 games after signing a two-year, $48.5 million extension.
- He becomes trade-eligible on January 15, leaving only a short window before the early February deadline as reported interest centers on the Kings, Pelicans, Bulls and Suns.
- Recent coverage includes a single-outlet, speculative proposal involving Michael Porter Jr., which reflects opinionated trade modeling rather than confirmed negotiations.
