The Golden State Warriors are still in their restricted free agency staredown with Jonathan Kuminga, hoping he takes their two-year, $45 million offer that includes a team option in the second season. One thing that they refuse to do is send Kuminga out in a sign-and-trade deal that would require them to lose either Buddy Hield or Moses Moody.
NBA insider Jake Fischer reaffirmed that on Sunday, saying that the Warriors "value both players quite highly" (subscription required).
Hield played his first season for Golden State in 2024-25 after arriving last offseason via a sign-and-trade with Philadelphia.
