Warriors only have themselves to blame for Kuminga drama if latest rumor is true

If the Golden State Warriors are holding up a Jonathan Kuminga trade for Buddy Hield, they're making the drama worse.

According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors don’t want to include Moses Moody or Buddy Hield in a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade, and if the latter half of that statement is true, they are creating more drama than the situation is worth.

“Anyone saying the first-round pick protections are the only obstacle to a Kings-Warriors sign-and-trade is wrong, as I'm told Golden State really doesn't want to move either Buddy Hield or Moses Moody (which would be required),” Amick wrote on Twitter.
