With the October 1 deadline on Jonathan Kuminga's qualifying offer drawing near, the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have reportedly revived sign-and-trade talks involving the young forward according to Sam Amick of The Athletic on Wednesday.
The issue for the Warriors is that they don't have much interest in Malik Monk and a lottery protected first-round pick, particularly when they'd have to give up Buddy Hield or Moses Moody in the process to make the salary matching work.
So, how can the Warriors turn this around where they're actually getting an upgrade and they're the ones giving up draft capital?
