Jonathan Kuminga trade ideas for 3 teams, including Lakers and Mavs deal
SB Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- Jonathan Kuminga, a fifth-year forward for the Golden State Warriors, has struggled to earn coach Steve Kerr's trust and is performing poorly this season, ranking in the 12th percentile in EPM.
- Despite his underperformance, the Warriors signed Kuminga to a two-year, $46 million contract primarily to use him as trade bait but have yet to find a suitable trade partner willing to offer significant assets.
- The Warriors are reportedly unwilling to take on long-term salary in a trade, limiting their options to mostly expiring contracts and future second-round picks, with Kuminga currently out of the rotation and demanding a trade.
- Three hypothetical trade scenarios involve Kuminga going to the Lakers (with the Nets as a third team
