The biggest headline surrounding the Golden State Warriors this offseason has continued to be their ongoing saga with young forward Jonathan Kuminga.
Kuminga is currently a restricted free agent and after falling out of Steve Kerr’s rotation last season, many around the NBA believe that he will be moving on from Golden State this summer.
Despite this, Kuminga has yet to make a decision regrading his future, though it was reported on Wednesday that he turned down a contract offer from the Warriors.
There were also reports on Wednesday that the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns have made a contract offer to Kuminga and ESPN’s Marc J. Spears revealed that the Kings are his preferred destination.
“The Kings are offering a starting spot. He's talked on a zoom call with Scott Perry, BJ Armstrong and also with Doug Christie. He's in,” Spears said about Kuminga.

This is a massive report by Spears and one that does not come as a major surprise, especially with Sacramento offering Kuminga a starting spot if he signs with them.
Of course, the Kings will have to pull off a sign-and-trade with the Warriors to acquire Kuminga which may be easier said than done.
It has already been reported that the Warriors turned down the Kings’ offer of Devin Carter, Dario Saric and a protected first-round pick for Kuminga and with Golden State’s asking price remaining high, it may be difficult for Sacramento to pull off a trade for the young forward.
Despite this, Kuminga could also force the Warriors into trading him to the Kings, which would be the worst-case scenario for Golden State.
Either way, it appears as though Kuminga’s time with the Warriors is nearing an end, which is not a complete surprise after last season, with the Kings being named his preferred destination.
