The Warriors have two options: Trade Kuminga before his value further deflates or play him to save his reputation.
The single worst-kept secret in the NBA is that the Golden Sate Warriors intend to trade Jonathan Kuminga. An agonizing period of restricted free agency failed to yield the sign-and-trade Kuminga was hoping for and Golden State hasn't exactly responded by rewarding his return with playing time.
With a recent string of absences from the rotation that reflect the events that caused the strain between player and organization in 2024-25, trading Kuminga is the only option left.
