Overview

• Three-team discussions with the Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons have been active but no framework nears completion, sources say.
• A proposed deal would send Jonathan Kuminga and Dennis Schröder to Sacramento and Malik Monk to Detroit in separate sign-and-trade transactions.
• Golden State has explored sign-and-trade as the likeliest exit path for Kuminga given its $207.8 million payroll and proximity to the second luxury-tax apron.
• The front office is also courting veteran center Al Horford as an unrestricted free agent while awaiting his decision.
• NBA insiders warn that market scarcity and CBA hurdles could force a stalemate, keeping Kuminga in Golden State or delaying his trade into the next season.
