The Golden State Warriors are clear in what they want in a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade. All Warriors rumors indicate that the team is looking for a solid young player and a first-round pick if they are unable to reach an agreement with Kuminga and his agent before the season starts.<\/p>\n
One of the teams that has been most linked as a possible Kuminga trade destination is the Sacramento Kings. The Kings reportedly offered Devin Carter, Dario Saric, and two second-round picks for Kuminga, but the Warriors reportedly refused.<\/p>\n

Now, The Athletic\u2019s Sam Amick has reported that the Warriors are also not interested<\/a> in another King\u2019s player.<\/p>\n Amick reported that the Warriors are not interested in getting DeMar DeRozan back in a potential Kuminga-Kings trade.<\/p>\n DeRozan has now averaged over 20 points per game for 12 straight seasons. He is a bona fide scoring machine, and the Warriors need another go-to scorer. Unfortunately, DeRozan is 35 years old with his best years behind him. He also just doesn\u2019t fit with the Warriors’ current roster.<\/p>\n DeRozan is primarily an isolation scorer and doesn\u2019t project to flow well in the Warriors read and read-and-react offense. He also has never been a good three-point shooter, and with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler already slotted to play heavy minutes, the Warriors can\u2019t afford to play another who doesn\u2019t stretch the floor.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n DeRozan\u2019s contract is another reason the Warriors likely want to stay away. He is owed over $50 million over this season and the next. The Warriors don\u2019t want to take on extra salary that will limit their flexibility any more than it already is.<\/p>\n
