Fans of the Golden State Warriors didn’t see a lot of Jonathan Kuminga this season, but what they did see, they liked.
He wasn’t in the starting rotation for the Warriors during their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but once he started playing, he performed well.
However, is Kuminga’s best path forward with a totally different team?
Writing for ESPN, one unnamed league scout said Kuminga might do better if he moves to another location in the NBA.
“The best thing that happens to [Jonathan Kuminga] is if they sign-and-trade him,” one scout said.
He averaged 24.3 points during the team’s final four games of the season and shot 55 percent from the field.
During his 47 games in 2024-25, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds on 45.4 percent from the field.
He is the sort of player who could really blossom with a different team if the Warriors decide to let him go.
If they do commit to a sign-and-trade for him, where would he end up?
ESPN said the Brooklyn Nets would take a look at him, while the Chicago Bulls could also contemplate going after Kuminga.
Because of his hard work over the last few years, there are a few options that might be best for him.
Of course, the Warriors could decide to hold onto Kuminga as well.
They haven’t given him consistent minutes, but head coach Steve Kerr has said he is fond of the young player and his willingness to do whatever the team needs.
Have we seen the last of Kuminga with Golden State?
It’s one of the questions that NBA fans will be asking in the weeks ahead.
