Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga has not played since December 18 and becomes trade‑eligible on January 15, narrowing the timeline before the February 5 deadline.
- The Sacramento Kings are described as the leading suitor and are canvassing multi‑team structures to move salary, with reports tying Malik Monk and a potential Nets conduit involving Michael Porter Jr.
- Reporting indicates Sacramento has pulled a previously discussed protected first‑round pick from its offer, reflecting cooled terms as Golden State’s leverage wanes.
- Multiple outlets describe a thin market, with some noting the Kings as the only team showing clear interest, even as others are mentioned as possibilities in exploratory talks.
- Team sources say the Warriors have made little substantive progress and may keep Kuminga if returns disappoint, while Steve Kerr cited lineup‑fit and spacing concerns for sidelining him alongside Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.
