US EditionKurtenbach: Warriors’ Time on Kuminga Decision Is up. Their Options Are Less than Appealing
Golden State Warriors plan to trade Jonathan Kuminga, valued at $22.5 million, targeting players like Trey Murphy III, Malik Monk, and Michael Porter Jr. to boost their roster.
- On Thursday, Jonathan Kuminga became trade-eligible, and the Warriors are preparing to move him before February 6, with his $22.5 million cap hit making his contract tradable.
- Amid a thin market for Kuminga, Golden State's $22.5 million cap hit and team option require a three-team trade to match salaries, insiders say.
- Targets include Michael Porter Jr., Trey Murphy III and Malik Monk, with Porter averaging 25.9 points and shooting 40.8% from three, Murphy scoring 21.6 points with three 3-pointers, and Monk hitting 42.3% from deep while offering wing defense.
- With a thin market, the Warriors will likely need a three-team trade, and insiders say the Chicago Bulls could facilitate, but Nikola Vucevic is not considered an acceptable return.
- Jonathan Kuminga remains on the Warriors' 15-man roster and trains at the team facility on Terry Francois Boulevard, having not played since Dec. 18 and with the February 6 trade deadline approaching.
