Kuminga sounds like he’s ready to leave the Warriors, but there have been a litany of complications to get him to a new NBA team. While he could just sign an offer sheet with a team, the Warriors have the ability to match the contract and retain him, so signing the offer sheet likely would keep him in Golden State.

The initial belief that inspired the Golden State Warriors to make Jonathan Kuminga the No. 7 pick of the 2021 NBA draft has surely been shaken across his four uneven seasons together.

With almost no teams having cap space this offseason, it may take a sign-and-trade for Kuminga to find the deal he feels he is worth with a new team. The Sacramento Kings already did a sign-and-trade deal that brought in Dennis Schroder. Perhaps they will continue making moves. After all, they are one of the teams with reported interest in Kuminga.
