As the Golden State Warriors have come to an impasse with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga this offseason, they have begun dissuading potential sign-and-trade suitors as an apparent reflection of their desire to retain him and then trade him at his full financial value next season.
Moreover, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Sacramento Kings remain the strongest suitor for Kuminga, and, given their clear interest in him as a potential cornerstone of their franchise, the Warriors could certainly still pull off a massive return despite Kuminga's downward trajectory on the open market.
Although it remains to be seen what type of contractual resolution Golden State will find with Kuminga, it will almost certainly be a relatively easily tradeable deal: a fact that could enable the team's gamble to pay off excellently next season.
