"PHOENIX After five tumultuous seasons in the Bay Area, the Warriors finally parted ways with Jonathan Kuminga less than 24 hours before Thursday's trade deadline. On Wednesday evening, Golden State sent Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta, in return receiving Kristaps Porzingis, league sources confirmed to The Bay Area News Group. No draft picks were involved in the deal. ESPN's Shams Charania was the first to report the news."
"After being removed from the rotation by the end of last season and only returning to a featured role after Steph Curry was lost in the second round with a hamstring injury Kuminga looked poised to leave the organization. His agent, Aaron Turner, went on a public media tour as he attempted to drum up interest in his client. However, a few days after training camp began, Kuminga re-signed with the Warriors on a two-year, $46.5 million contract."
Golden State sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis with no draft picks involved. Kuminga is expected to assume a featured offensive role with the Hawks, who need a scoring wing after trading Trae Young. Kuminga’s time in Golden State included removal from the rotation, a public recruiting effort by his agent, a two-year $46.5 million re-signing, an initial strong start, diminished minutes and healthy scratches. A brief late-season revival produced a 30-point outing before a left-knee bone bruise ended his return.
