This Golden State Warriors trade idea might land the team some valuable pieces in return for a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade.
The Golden State Warriors' free agency moves have left a lot to be desired. In fact, they haven’t made a single one. It seems like the Warriors are waiting to see what happens with Jonathan Kuminga’s restricted free agency before deciding on signing other free agents.
What’s unclear is whether Kuminga will re-sign with the Warriors or if they will be able to do a sign-and-trade. One team that has often been mentioned in the Kuminga trade rumors is the Chicago Bulls.
Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz predicted that the Bulls will be able to pull off a Kuminga sign-and-trade.
“Jonathan Kuminga seems like the most likely restricted free agent to switch teams after Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr held him out of the rotation entirely for parts of the regular and postseason.
Kuminga fits best with a young team where he can be more of a featured option on offense and create a spark for a franchise that needs some electricity.
The Chicago Bulls have wallowed in mediocrity for the past five years, winning between 31 and 46 games with just a single playoff appearance to show for it. Josh Giddey (restricted free agent) and Matas Buzelis look like they could be foundational pieces moving forward, but the rest of the roster is either too old (Nikola Vučević), too inconsistent (Patrick Williams) or not under contract past this season (Coby White).
Kuminga has been quite productive when given the opportunity.”

This would be a big move for the Bulls. If the Warriors could get some decent players back in a Kuminga trade they could be a partner worth working with.
