The Golden State Warriors have declined a recent trade proposal from the Sacramento Kings involving restricted free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga, according to a report from The Athletic’s Sam Amick.
Per the report, Sacramento offered guard Malik Monk and a lottery-protected 2030 first-round pick to Golden State as part of a sign-and-trade deal for Kuminga, who was offered a three-year, $63 million contract.
However, Golden State reportedly pushed back on the protections tied to the draft pick and insisted that any first-rounder in return for Kuminga be unprotected.
As for the Kings, who last spoke with the Warriors earlier this week, team sources say they’ve offered a three-year, $63 million deal for Kuminga in a proposal that would send veteran guard Malik Monk and their 2030 first-round pick (lottery protected) to the Warriors (that deal would require the Warriors to move more salary elsewhere to stay under the first apron, likely Moses Moody or Buddy Hield).
