The Dallas Mavericks continue to emerge as a surprise suitor for Jonathan Kuminga, potentially gifting the Golden State Warriors an astonishing exit strategy from the embattled young forward.
According to Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal, the Mavericks have interest in Kuminga as a key piece in an Anthony Davis trade. However, there remains an obvious obstacle between the Warriors and acquiring Davis, with both Afseth and The Athletic's Sam Amick reporting on their disinterest in trading either Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green.

The fact the Warriors could seemingly put Kuminga in a trade for a player of Davis' stature is what they would have envisioned when they re-signed him during the offseason, and almost seems fanciful now given the 23-year-old has been out of Steve Kerr's rotation for 10 of the past 11 games.
