According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, Jonathan Kuminga’s trade market has been steadily growing over some time now; enough for it to make headlines and have multiple teams interested in the talented young player.

The Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, and Chicago Bulls are the four listed teams who have legit interest in getting him through a sign-and-trade scenario.

While the Golden State Warriors have not ruled out the possibility of re-signing him, it’s increasingly likely of them to rather trade him, get a nice return, than to pay him what he wants.

Last season, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, the Chicago Bulls have legit interest in trading for the young forward. It’s expected to be worked through as a sign-and-trade type deal.

This type of deal makes sense when considering the fact that Chicago is well over the salary cap and have tighter restrictions on spending this upcoming offseason.

It’s unclear what type of assets the Bulls would be willing to give up for the talented player, but that should be cleared up if/when they move forward with the potential trade.

There is a large belief right now that the 22-year-old re-signs with the Golden State Warriors. Kuminga’s market has been reportedly “dry” and not many teams are in a solid financial situation to give him the money he’s looking for.

The only team who has that type of money, without killing them like the rest of the league, are the Brooklyn Nets. However, they really aren’t interested in Kuminga.

Once the Kevin Durant trade situation gets resolved, then many teams may look to the Warriors young prospect as a potential backup plan to secure young, developing talent for their futures.

According to the Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Golden State’s fans will begin to see a new era in The Bay.

Jonathan Kuminga will become a starter and replace Draymond Green in the starting five, which took some fans by storm. Mainly speculating if this is due to Green’s production; however, according to Kerr, it’s to give rest to Green and more minutes for the upcoming player.

During their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kuminga had officially replaced the veteran in the starting lineup. This isn’t going anywhere.

“The idea is we are trying to make the most of Jonathan’s ability to get downhill, get him more time …we are searching for ways to get those guys more involved and not wear down Draymond and Steph [Curry],” said Kerr after the game.

Now, is the 34-year-old okay with this massive change? Whether shocking or not, he is very okay with it.

“Of course, I’m OK with it. I have been one of JK’s biggest fans since he’s been here. And so if he has an opportunity to start, you can’t be hypocritical … I’m a starter in the NBA. I know that. But if it’s something to try to help this team win, I’m always going to be for it,” said Green.

As long as it benefits the team and gives Kuminga a chance to explode onto the scene, then he is all for it.

This season, the 22-year-old averages 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 20 games.
