Sacramento Kings reportedly push for Jonathan Kuminga with new trade offer
The initial offers for a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade have not impressed the Golden State Warriors. However, the most fascinating offer so far has reportedly been made. The Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, are looking to add some young players to their squad.Now, he is the target of their attention. By giving the NBA player a big role and the opportunity to thrive in ways the Golden State Warriors haven’t been able to, they think they can maximize his potential.Hence, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Sacramento Kings have made a fresh offer for Jonathan Kuminga’s trade. He recently said: “The Kings have offered Malik Monk and a lottery-protected 2030 first-round pick to the Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga. Unlike the Suns’ four-year, $90 million proposal, Sacramento is only offering Kuminga a three-year contract.”He continued:“As for the Kings, which last spoke with the Warriors earlier this week, team sources say they’ve offered a three-year, $63 million deal for Kuminga in a proposal that would send veteran guard Malik Monk and their 2030 first-round pick (lottery protected) to the Warriors…”

He then concluded:“If that pick didn’t convey, then the Warriors would get the least favorable of the Kings or San Antonio’s first-round pick in 2031. Those protections have been the primary sticking point, team sources said, as the Warriors have insisted that the first-rounder be unprotected. Thus, the stalemate…”This is a substantial offer. When the Sacramento Kings first tried to trade for Jonathan Kuminga, they offered a far lesser package. The Golden State Warriors might be interested in this one.
