Suns Express Interest in Sign-and-Trade with Jonathan Kuminga as Warriors Forward Seeks More Money, per Report
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 16 – The Warriors seek a young player and first-round pick in a sign-and-trade to address roster fit and salary cap issues amid Kuminga's restricted free agency.
- Last week at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Golden State Warriors met with Jonathan Kuminga's representatives, according to Brett Siegel.
- Under NBA free agency rules, Warriors are $2.1M under the luxury tax but absent willing suitors, they can re-sign, wait on a qualifying offer, or sign an offer sheet.
- The Phoenix Suns have shown exploratory interest in Kuminga, but lack the draft picks and personnel Golden State seeks, per Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

- Looking ahead, the Warriors seek a promising young player plus a first-round pick in a sign-and-trade, and under NBA’s base year compensation rules, only half of Kuminga’s outgoing salary counts toward the trade.
