Overview
- The Warriors have Porter at the top of their wishlist, but reporting indicates they’re reluctant to include more than one first-round pick in any offer.
- Insiders disagree on timing, with The Athletic’s John Hollinger calling a trade a “lock” by Feb. 5 and Marc Stein reporting pushback that a move may wait until the offseason.
- Brooklyn is not actively shopping Porter, league sources told ClutchPoints, though teams view him as the most impactful scorer currently available.
- Multiple reports say the Nets are cool on taking Jonathan Kuminga directly, making a three-team framework likely, with Sacramento frequently mentioned as a facilitator.
- Kuminga becomes trade-eligible on Jan. 15 and has fallen out of Steve Kerr’s rotation, a dynamic driving Golden State’s trade mechanics.
