US EditionWarriors Coach Steve Kerr Chatted with Jonathan Kuminga About His Uncertain Situation
- 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.

Within a single 16-second stretch early in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s 126-113 victory, the officials initi…
