US EditionEight Warriors score at least 10 points in win over Hornets
- On Jan. 15, 2026, Jonathan Kuminga became trade-eligible, and he and agent Aaron Turner reportedly demanded the Golden State Warriors trade him.
- Benchings and uneven play have depressed Kuminga's value recently, as he is viewed as a poor fit in coach Steve Kerr's system and Golden State lacks needed outside shooting around Stephen Curry.
- A three-team structure is seen as necessary to make salaries and assets line up, with a proposed swap sending Michael Porter Jr., Keon Ellis and Tyrese Martin to Golden State; Sacramento Kings' reluctance to trade draft assets, including protected picks, could stall talks.
- The Warriors would gain a high-level shooter next to Stephen Curry, adding elite off-ball scoring to space the floor while Jonathan Kuminga would likely get a larger offensive role elsewhere.
- Before the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers could make a push for Kuminga between Jan. 15 and the deadline, while Sacramento's reluctance to move picks complicates talks and Golden State may keep Kuminga if no deal emerges.

The Warriors later announced that Butler, who scored 32 points against the Timberwolves on Thursday, was out for personal reasons. So obviously, the answer was to give Draymond Gr…
Jonathan Kuminga Is In Basketball Purgatory
It's hard to pinpoint the moment that Jonathan Kuminga first became disenchanted with the Golden State Warriors and their management, so we will have to start the clock with the trade demand that sparked the latest stage in their preposterous standoff. By that reckoning this is merely Day Two of Kuminga Held Hostage, and yes, it's already stupid. But we all knew it would be. When a trade period begins with no trade, no predictions of a trade, an…
