A recent four-team mock trade has the Golden State Warriors trading Jonathan Kuminga to the Sacramento Kings with the Miami Heat and Utah Jazz also involved.
Mock 4-Team Trade Has Warriors Sending Jonathan Kuminga to Kings, Heat Landing Malik Monk originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
One of the biggest storylines thus far during the NBA offseason is the ongoing saga between the Golden State Warriors and restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
Of course, Kuminga’s role with the Warriors in the future is uncertain after he fell out of Steve Kerr’s rotation last season after Golden State acquired Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline.
Because of this, many expected Kuminga to leave in free agency, which would have to come via a sign-and-trade, though there has not been a ton of teams interested in him thus far.
According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls are the two likely trade suitors for Kuminga this summer and he released a four-team mock trade on Monday that would send the Warriors’ young forward to the Kings.
In the trade, the Warriors would acquire Devin Carter and a 2027 top-eight protected first-round pick from Sacramento and Haywood Highsmith from the Miami Heat.
The Kings would land Kuminga from the Warriors while the Heat would acquire Malik Monk from Sacramento and KJ Martin from the Utah Jazz.
For the Jazz, they would acquire Terry Rozier, a 2029 first-round pick and 2027 second-round pick from the Heat.
This is an interesting trade for every team involved and also one that the Warriors may not be completely interested in due to their high asking price for Kuminga.
It has already been reported that the Warriors shut down an offer from the Kings that included Carter, Dario Saric and a protected first-round pick and they would receive the same compensation in this deal with them adding Highsmith instead of Saric.
Despite this, adding a young guard in Carter would be a massive boost to the Warriors’ guard depth and also their future while Highsmith would give them a solid forward off the bench.
While that may be the case, the Warriors may elect to look elsewhere to find a new home for Kuminga this offseason or they could end up keeping him around as well.
