As the Golden State Warriors have entertained sign-and-trade talks surrounding restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga this offseason, the strongest and most aggressive suitor has clearly been the Sacramento Kings.
Yet, although these talks have died down for the time being, the Kings' questionable roster construction as well as their general inability to make other difference-making trades, could force them back into Kuminga talks, allowing the Warriors to take advantage and perhaps retrieve immense value for the young forward.
With a crowded roster of ball-hungry players, including DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine, Dennis Schroder and others, the Kings could discover rather quickly into the season that their roster as it stands is not ready for contention, and any more failed trade pursuits could lead them right back to Golden State.
