As the Golden State Warriors have searched for a resolution to restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga's contract situation, it has become more likely that Kuminga will return to the team on a short-term, tradeable deal.
Despite this fact, there are still numerous questions surrounding Kuminga's fit on the roster, and, although a sign-and-trade is still certainly possible, it would be best for the Warriors if they could find a way to maximize Kuminga's potential in the upcoming season.
With an aging veteran core, Golden State needs a burst of youth, and, although there is an established discrepancy between the coaching staff and Kuminga, the young forward could be exactly what they need to compete in the Western Conference.
