According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, the continued belief coming from the Sacramento organization is that Jonathan Kuminga wants to be a King.
This is revving up even more due to the off-and-on talks between the Golden State Warriors and the 22-year-old.
Reportedly, Sacramento was ready to send a 2030 first-round pick and Malik Monk to Golden State for the superstar prospect. This would have saw Kuminga sign a three-year, $63 million contract.
Whether it is the Kings or another team, to acquire Kuminga, it would have to come through a sign-and-trade.
Kuminga only appeared in 47 games last season. During those appearances, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.
In the end, Kuminga wants a larger role than the one he currently has with the Warriors. It’s believed he would get that if on the Kings.
