Warriors owner Joe Lacob still has affinity for Jonathan Kuminga
Warriors owner Joe Lacob still has an affinity for Kuminga, league sources told ESPN, even as Kerr seems to run hot and cold with him. But a strong message came this fall when Kuminga and the team didn’t agree to a contract extension. The sides never got particularly close, sources said, which made it clear that Golden State’s belief in his future had its limits, at least for now.Source: ESPN What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Both sides can aggregate salaries, but these margins are really tight. Like pants the day after Thanksgiving tight. You put in an extra player on the Miami side, and the deal isn’t legal on the Golden State side. You switch out one player for another on the Warriors side and it isn’t legal on the Heat side. Because of that, we’re going to add in the Detroit Pistons as a facilitator. Proposed trade: Miami Heat acquire Jonathan Kuminga, De’Anthony Melton, Andrew Wiggins from Golden State, top-55 protected second-round pick from Detroit. Golden State Warriors acquire Jimmy Butler. Detroit Pistons acquire Gary Payton II. -via Spotrac.com / December 12, 2024 Rival executives are surely keeping an eye on Kuminga’s play, as he is set to be a restricted free agent in July. In his career, Kuminga has played 30 minutes or more in 41 games, averaging 20 points, 54% field goal shooting and 40% from 3. He has played 30 minutes or more in two of the past three games — including a 33-point performance on Dec. 5 against the Rockets and then 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals versus the Timberwolves on Dec. 8. -via ESPN / December 10, 2024 Sources said the Warriors are looking to add a star player — a playmaker, scorer — alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Golden State pursued Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen and Paul George as a free agent last offseason, and is expected to remain aggressive this deadline. A telltale moment happened for the Warriors on Friday night, when Curry, Green and coach Steve Kerr spoke about this being fourth-year forward Jonathan Kuminga’s time to take the mantle and Green accepted a bench role for Kuminga to start at power forward. -via ESPN / December 10, 2024
