One of the most intriguing situations will be the Golden State Warriors’ decision regarding their forward Jonathan Kuminga, who will definitely be shopped on the trade market once eligible starting January 14.
NBA reporter Evan Sidery proposed a trade idea that would send Kuminga to his desired destination, the Sacramento Kings, with the Brooklyn Nets also involved to complete a potential blockbuster.
"The Kings are canvassing the market to offload Malik Monk in a multi-team framework with the Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga," Sidery says. "The Nets are a team to monitor with Michael Porter Jr."
Proposed trade:
Warriors receive: Michael Porter Jr.
Kings receive: Jonathan Kuminga
Nets receive: Malik Monk, Draft capital, and salary filler via Warriors
With this trade, the Warriors would gain a reliable scorer with championship experience to help push them toward contention in the Western Conference.
The Kings would acquire Kuminga, who they’ve been monitoring since the offseason as a potential core piece for the future.
Meanwhile, the Nets would receive draft capital and Malik Monk, who could be a valuable asset while also helping them acquire more picks with his attractive nearly $19 million contract.
