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.
