Overview
- Team and player representatives have a reported mutual understanding to find a deal, and Kuminga has not appeared in the last nine games, including seven DNP-CDs.
- Kuminga becomes trade-eligible Jan. 15 under a two-year, $46.8 million deal that carries a $22.5 million cap hit this season and a roughly $1.7 million trade bonus if moved that day.
- Reported suitors include the Mavericks, Kings, Pelicans, Bulls, Trail Blazers and Wizards, with an expectation he is moved before the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Golden State is targeting a 3-point shooting, defensive wing and has discussed packages involving Moses Moody or Buddy Hield, though Brooklyn is reportedly not interested in a Kuminga-centered offer.
- Coach Steve Kerr has indicated Draymond Green will not be included to match larger salaries, limiting blockbuster scenarios and making concepts like a Davis-sized swap unrealistic.
