As the Golden State Warriors have sought out a resolution to their stand-off with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, the two sides have come to an impasse over which party will have more leverage in a potential short-term, tradeable deal.
Yet, as reported by Anthony Slater on NBA Today, Kuminga is seeking a deal that signifies faith in him as a building block of the organization, and, in order to make any progress, Kuminga must accept the fact that the team views him as a trade asset.
Given his questionable fit within the team's starting lineup, a long-term deal for Kuminga is unlikely, and the young forward is better off welcoming a trade that will send him to a new home with a better fit for his skill-set.
