Jonathan Kuminga's ongoing free agency stalemate is rearing up some disasters of the past for the Golden State Warriors, perhaps most notably their initial draft mistakes that saw them select James Wiseman, Kuminga and Moses Moody across the 2020 and 2021 period.
Yet while that may always be at the front of mind not just for Warrior fans but others who may be enjoying their misfortune, there's a missed trade opportunity that's also coming back to bite the franchise as time passes.

Part of the frustration among Golden State fans right now is the fact that the front office had four years to trade Kuminga before reaching this situation, having had multiple opportunities to turn the young talent into a more win-now ready player.
