Overview
- The Warriors cut off sign-and-trade talks for restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga after market offers failed to meet their high return demands.
- Kuminga rejected the two-year, $45 million proposal and is prepared to take the $7.9 million qualifying offer to secure unrestricted free agency next summer.
- Golden State has shown interest in a double sign-and-trade to swap Kuminga for Bulls guard Josh Giddey as both sides remain locked in contract impasses.
- A proposed mock sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz would send Kuminga to Utah in exchange for sharpshooter Georges Niang and two future first-round draft picks.
- A three-team trade scenario has surfaced that would move Kuminga to the Nets and bring Brooklyn guard Cam Thomas to Golden State.
