Jonathan Kuminga trade ideas for 3 teams, including Lakers and Mavs deal
Yahoo Sports • • 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 Estimated Plus-Minus (EPM).
- Despite his underperformance, the Warriors signed Kuminga to a two-year, $46 million contract primarily to use him as trade bait, but his value has diminished, limiting the team's potential return to expiring contracts and second-round picks.
- Several hypothetical three-team trade scenarios involving Kuminga have been proposed, including deals with the Lakers and Nets, Kings and Bulls, and Mavericks, but none appear particularly advantageous for Golden State.
- The Warriors are reportedly reluctant to take on long-term salary in trades and may continue
