The Phoenix Suns made an offer to the Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga, but it wasn't enough for Golden State to send the forward to the desert in a sign-and-trade deal. The Warriors want a first-round pick, which the Suns can't offer.
ESPN reported on Wednesday that Phoenix made the most "lucrative push" for the 22-year-old. The Suns offered Kuminga almost $70 million more in guaranteed money than the Warriors' two-year, $45 million offer. Kuminga turned Golden State down.
ESPN added that Kuminga prefers the "longer-term offers" from the Suns and Kings for many reasons.
