"As of publication of this article, Jonathan Kuminga is technically still a member of the Warriors. He works out at the team's facility on Terry Francois Boulevard, trains with the coaches and is still a member of the 15-man roster. But the 23-year-old has not played since Dec. 18 against the Suns, and has sat out the past 12 games, 11 of those being healthy scratches."
"Kuminga is all but certainly going to be traded after his trade restriction is lifted on Thursday. With a $22.5 million cap hit and a team option on the second year of his deal, his salary could be used to bring back another player who can give an immediate boost to a Warriors team hoping to break into the league's upper echelon."
Jonathan Kuminga remains on the Warriors' 15-man roster and trains at the team's facility but has not played since Dec. 18 and has sat out 12 games, 11 as healthy scratches. His trade restriction lifts on Thursday, and he is expected to be traded. Kuminga carries a $22.5 million cap hit with a team option for the second year, and that salary could be used to acquire a player who provides an immediate boost. Teams linked to him include the Kings, Nets, Wizards, Trail Blazers and New Orleans. Matching salaries would require additional players or draft picks. One potential target is Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III, a high-volume 3-point shooter averaging 21.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game who also offers wing defense, though New Orleans may prefer to build around Murphy and Zion Williamson.
