As the Golden State Warriors have trudged through the offseason, their main priority has been finding a resolution to their ongoing Jonathan Kuminga saga: either through a sign-and-trade or a contractual agreement.
Yet, their unwillingness to include Moses Moody in any trade has hindered their ability to match salaries for larger assets, and, because of this hesitancy, the team must justify their course of action by granting significant minutes to the young wing next season.
Although there have been no confirmed trade proposals to include Moody, his salary would be hugely valuable in any potential Kuminga sign-and-trade as a result of base-year compensation rules, and the team's unwillingness to include him must signify a growing confidence in the young sharpshooter.
