As the Golden State Warriors have attempted to find a resolution to their Jonathan Kuminga saga this offseason, the Sacramento Kings have re-emerged as the strongest suitors to facilitate a sign-and-trade for the dynamic young forward.
Yet, apart from the Kings, the market has cooled to such an extent that, if the Kings were to pull out of trade talks, the Warriors would be stuck bringing Kuminga back for next season: a potentially disastrous situation.
Although it recently seemed likely that Kuminga would return on a short-term, tradeable deal, the situation is up in the air yet again, and Golden State is now dependent upon their rival to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
