Jonathan Kuminga trade rumors: The three-team trade that gets the Warriors the best shooter on the market

Jonathan Kuminga requested a trade immediately upon eligibility as the Warriors seek expiring contracts and are considering multi-team deals before the Feb. 5 deadline.

  • 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.
