Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga enters restricted free agency with the Warriors holding matching rights and is at the center of potential sign-and-trade discussions.
- One proposal would package Kuminga and other role players to Boston in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis’s expiring contract.
- Insiders say a separate sign-and-trade with the Brooklyn Nets could swap Kuminga for three-and-D wing Cameron Johnson using New York’s cap space.
- Owner Joe Lacob has publicly championed Kuminga’s talent while coach Steve Kerr has questioned his fit alongside Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.
- Kuminga remains open to returning but insists on a featured offensive role, making his final destination dependent on upcoming negotiations.
