As the Golden State Warriors seek out a potential trade for Jonathan Kuminga next season, it goes without question that they will need a player to step in and take over some of the scoring that he provides to the team's rotation.
Yet, while PJ Washington of the Dallas Mavericks could be a dream solution, with his versatile skill-set and dependable perimeter shot, his looming extension means that he will likely not be traded until next offseason: a fact that could dash the Warriors' hopes of bringing him in.
Nevertheless, Washington, 27, has cemented himself as a darling of the Dallas front office with his excellent play over the past two seasons, and his projected annual value of less than $25 million on his new contract will make him a highly coveted player around the league were he to become available.
