Kings face inescapable problem in Jonathan Kuminga trade with Warriors

The Sacramento Kings have re-emerged as a leading suitor for Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, having reportedly been in contact with the restricted free agent this week who is "open-minded" to the idea of joining the pacific rival according to ESPN's Anthony Slater.

While the Kings and Kuminga may be strongly interesting in a union, that's not to say it will be easy to pull off a sign-and-trade as they face an inescapable problem simply with the financial aspects of a deal.

Matching salary in a Jonathan Kuminga trade will be incredibly difficult

Sacramento are already hard-capped at the first apron after their sign-and-trade for Dennis Schroder, and Golden State will too be hard-capped at the second apron if they are to send Kuminga to the Kings or elsewhere.
