Overview
- Multiple insiders describe a fractured relationship between Golden State and Jonathan Kuminga, who hasn’t played since Dec. 18 and becomes trade‑eligible on Jan. 15.
- A widely circulated media proposal sends Michael Porter Jr. to the Warriors in a three‑team framework with Brooklyn and Sacramento, though it remains a hypothetical construct rather than an active negotiation.
- John Hollinger reports Porter is likely to be moved so Brooklyn can sell high on his career year, yet a New York Post report relayed by Hoops Rumors says the Nets could also keep him through the deadline and manage his minutes.
- Shams Charania reported Memphis is taking calls on Ja Morant, while league executives and analysts increasingly expect only modest returns comparable to Trae Young’s salary‑driven deal.
- Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo publicly dismissed the trade chatter and highlighted Morant’s injury progress, as teams like Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Sacramento and Brooklyn continue to be mentioned in speculative fits.
