Overview
- Kuminga becomes trade‑eligible on January 15 and multiple reports describe a mutual expectation that Golden State will find a deal before the February 5 deadline.
- Kuminga has not played since December 18, logging repeated DNP‑CDs and a recent back soreness absence, which league chatter suggests has softened his market value.
- New Orleans has rebuffed interest in Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones, with reporting indicating steep prices that make Golden State’s preferred one‑for‑one swap unlikely.
- Recent reporting links the Trail Blazers, Pelicans and Wizards as interested teams, with prior buzz also touching the Kings, Bulls and Mavericks.
- The Warriors are evaluating larger packages that could include other young pieces, and speculative concepts such as a Michael Porter Jr. pursuit have surfaced with indications the Nets may not favor a Kuminga‑centered offer; through it all, Jimmy Butler has publicly backed Kuminga as a teammate and friend.
