Overview

• Jonathan Kuminga enters restricted free agency seeking a featured offensive role after averaging 24.3 points on 54.8% shooting in the playoffs without Stephen Curry
• Coach Steve Kerr has said Kuminga’s high-usage style is difficult to fit alongside Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green in winning lineups
• The Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to extend an offer sheet but appear willing to use their cap space as part of multi-team sign-and-trade scenarios
• Potential trade targets include Kristaps Porzingis from Boston, Cameron Johnson from Brooklyn or Nikola Vucevic via Chicago in exchange for Kuminga
• Team leadership views a sign-and-trade as the cleanest way to recoup assets and preserve championship ambitions rather than letting Kuminga depart for nothing
