"SAN FRANCISCO - 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. Multiple outlets have reported that the Kings and Nets are among the franchises interested in Kuminga's services, and the Wizards, Trail Blazers and New Orleans have been linked to him as well."
Jonathan Kuminga remains on the Warriors' 15-man roster, continues to work out at the team's facility and train with coaches, but has not played since Dec. 18 and has been a healthy scratch for 11 of the past 12 games. He is expected to be traded once his restriction lifts, and his $22.5 million cap hit and team option make his salary an attractive asset for acquiring an immediate-impact player. Multiple teams — including the Kings, Nets, Wizards, Trail Blazers and New Orleans — have shown interest. Matching salaries would require another player or combinations of players and draft picks. Potential trade targets mentioned include Trey Murphy III, a high-volume 3-point shooting wing who averages 21.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists, and Malik Monk, a top bench scorer with multiple top-five Sixth Man of the Year finishes.
