"However, prior to the addition of Whitmore, it was rumored that the Wizards had shown interest in another former first-round pick in restricted free agency. That player? Jonathan Kuming a. Kuminga entered the offseason as one of the top free agents on the market between his young age, high-level postseason play and the potential he possesses. Despite that, a tricky contract situation with the Golden State Warriors has seemingly caused the former G-League Ignite star to remain unsigned as training camp looms."
"The forward seems interested in a fresh start, but the Warriors' indecisiveness and struggle to decide if they want him their long-term or simply just don't want to let him move on has gotten in the way of getting a deal done with any team. Not to mention, the addition of Whitmore seemed to take the Wizards out of the Kuminga sweepstakes."
General manager Will Dawkins targeted upgrades during the Washington Wizards offseason, selecting Tre Johnson at No. 6 and acquiring Cam Whitmore. The Wizards reportedly showed interest in Jonathan Kuminga, whose youth, playoff performance, and upside made him a sought-after free agent. A complicated contract situation with the Golden State Warriors has left Kuminga unsigned as training camp approaches. The Whitmore addition appeared to reduce Washington's pursuit of Kuminga, but Kuminga's scoring flashes and desire for a fresh start suggest a trade could provide him a larger role and benefit the Wizards.
