The initial belief that inspired the Golden State Warriors to make Jonathan Kuminga the No. 7 pick of the 2021 NBA draft has surely been shaken across his four uneven seasons together.

Kuminga sounds like he’s ready to leave the Warriors, but there have been a litany of complications to get him to a new NBA team. While he could just sign an offer sheet with a team, the Warriors have the ability to match the contract and retain him, so signing the offer sheet likely would keep him in Golden State.

A local TV reporter in Sacramento, Matt George, reported that the Kings were closing in on a sign-and-trade for Kuminga that would involve Devin Carter, Dario Saric and draft pick compensation. But then Warriors beat writer Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that no deal was imminent between the Warriors and any team.
