Heat gift Warriors the perfect Jonathan Kuminga replacement

As the Golden State Warriors have looked to reach a contractual resolution with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga this offseason, it is looking more and more likely that he will be traded sometime within the next year.

As a result, the Warriors will need to find a forward who can fill the role that Kuminga has largely refused to take on, and the Miami Heat, in making what will likely be their final signing of the offseason, have left Trey Lyles available as the perfect replacement.

Although the Heat were recently tied to Lyles as a solution to their lack of frontcourt depth, their signing of 27-year-old guard Dru Smith has effectively guaranteed that Lyles will be available for Golden State if the dominoes fall the right way.
