Warriors Weigh Jonathan Kuminga Trade With Pelicans, Pacers Linked as Suitors

Golden State is evaluating wing and frontcourt upgrades with any move held up by Kuminga’s trade ineligibility until mid-January.

Overview

  • Recent reporting ties New Orleans and Indiana to interest in Kuminga, with Phoenix and Sacramento also expected to monitor the situation before the deadline.
  • League chatter says Golden State is prioritizing size and two-way wing help, with Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III identified as players the Warriors like.
  • An analyst proposal outlines a Nets deal for Michael Porter Jr. in exchange for Kuminga, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and draft assets, which remains hypothetical.
  • Another speculative scenario envisions Sacramento sending two-time All-Star Zach LaVine for a package built around Kuminga, reflecting the market’s exploratory phase.
  • Kuminga, 23, signed a reported two-year, $46.8 million contract and is averaging about 13.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists, yet questions about his fit in Steve Kerr’s system persist.
