Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga Back On Trade Block

Jonathan Kuminga could be back on the market once he is eligible to be dealt on Jan 15, and he is "considered one of the top trade candidates across the league in the eyes of NBA executives." Golden State rejected summer offers because they wanted an unprotected first round pick, but Kuminga's production has slipped to 12.4 points this year after a 16.1 point breakout and a playoff burst when Curry was out. The Warriors are in win now mode and might move him for a player who helps immediately. Merlin sees curious suitors like the Kings quietly watching, the Suns cooling off, and the Pelicans still unclear. Kuminga would likely thrive on a rebuilding team that gives him more opportunity. If the Warriors can land immediate help they will part with potential; if not, Kuminga must prove he can be a steady No 3 option.
