According to Jake Fischer, the Warriors are interested in a potential sign-and-trade involving Josh Giddey and Jonathan Kuminga. This comes at a time where the Chicago Bulls are also at an impasse with one of their young, promising players.
“I can report that there have been multiple teams who have reached out to Josh Giddey’s representation about having interest in Josh Giddey. Golden State is one of them.
“Golden State would be interested depending how the machinations go in some type of Josh Giddey-Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade, to my understanding,” said Fischer.
How long have the Warriors had interest in Giddey? Since 2021 when the Oklahoma City Thunder selected him with the sixth overall pick, just one pick ahead of Golden State’s pick.
“The Warriors were prepared on draft night, way back when in 2021, for Jonathan Kuminga to go #6 to Oklahoma City. And they were ready to take Josh Giddey #7,” added Fischer.
Both Giddey and Kuminga are looking for long-term deals that see them making close to $30 million per year. Chicago and Golden State are not fond of that.
It’s unclear what else would be thrown into this potential deal, but the groundwork is set surrounded around Giddey and Kuminga – two promising players of the National Basketball Association.
