Overview
- ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel reports Porter tops Golden State’s wishlist, but early signals indicate the Warriors will not include more than one first-round pick in offers.
- Some reported frameworks pair Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody with salary filler such as Buddy Hield and a single first-rounder, with three-team routes floated to deliver assets Brooklyn prefers.
- Insider views diverge on timing, with The Athletic’s John Hollinger calling a Porter deal a “lock” and Marc Stein citing pushback that suggests the Nets could wait until the offseason; both the Warriors and Bucks have been in contact with Brooklyn.
- Kuminga has not played since Dec. 18, becomes trade-eligible on Jan. 15, and multiple reports describe his value as depressed, with Sacramento frequently linked as a potential landing spot.
- Porter is in a career year at roughly 25.9 points per game on efficient shooting and is in year four of a five-year, $179 million deal, a factor complicating salary matching and pick costs.
