The Golden State Warriors may have made a decision regarding Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s free agency. While the team has been listening to offers about a potential Kuminga sign and trade, none of the offers seem to be moving the needle for the Warriors front office. So, while everyone is waiting on the news of a Kuminga trade to hit their timeline, a recent report indicates that the Warriors may be moving in a different direction with Kuminga.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NBA insider Tim Kawakami reported that the Warriors may no longer be engaging in Kuminga trade conversations<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe Warriors unenthusiastically engaged in a few sign-and-trade discussions, but a source says they’re now out on those talks and that Jonathan Kuminga will be on the team this season.\u201d<\/p>\n This decision is a huge risk for the Warriors. Kuminga has made it clear that he is not interested in returning to Golden State, and a bad attitude like that could be a poison in the locker room.\u00a0<\/p>\n Additionally, if Kuminga decides to take the qualifying offer, the Warriors will lose him after this season for nothing. Right now, they at least have the opportunity to make a Kuminga sign and trade and recuperate some assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n Supposedly, there is a Kuminga-Kings trade offer on the table for Malik Monk and a protected first-round pick. Getting a scorer and playmaker of Monk\u2019s caliber could be much better than having a surly Kuminga complaining about his role all of next season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
