Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Warriors are working several trade angles for Kuminga and expect to have a deal in place before the Feb. 5 deadline.
- The Kings remain interested in acquiring Kuminga, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, though potential frameworks tied to Malik Monk have been a sticking point.
- Kuminga cannot be traded until Jan. 15 due to his two-year contract signed in the offseason, which compresses the timeline for negotiations.
- Steve Kerr explained the forward’s recent healthy scratches by saying Kuminga needs longer runs to find rhythm, and he has not played since Dec. 18.
- Amick reports the Mavericks initiated Davis discussions and have interest in Kuminga, but matching Davis’ $54.1 million salary would require moving a major Warriors contract the team does not plan to trade, and many circulating multi-team concepts remain speculative.
