Those are two things that he wants more than anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors and Kuminga are at a stalemate. Charania said Kuminga is in &#8220;no rush&#8221; to re-sign with the Warriors as both sides continue their negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Golden State wants a first-round pick in return. Phoenix doesn&#8217;t have a first-round pick available to trade through 2030. All of those they do hold before then, they don&#8217;t control because they are attached to deals previously made that other teams could use, depending on how the Suns finish in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors haven&#8217;t made any offseason roster moves because of Kuminga&#8217;s expired four-year rookie deal, and they are interested in keeping him.<\/p>\n<p>The former first-round pick Kuminga, 22, was also a key bench player in the Warriors&#8217; 2022 title run when he was a rookie. He averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 47 appearances and 10 starts last season. During Golden State&#8217;s playoff run to the Western Conference semifinals, when Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler were out with injuries, Kuminga stepped up, averaging 20.8 points before they lost to Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Kuminga&#8217;s been linked to trade rumors since before last season&#8217;s trade deadline. He was sidelined from an ankle injury for most of January and February, and was in and out of the rotation after Golden State acquired Butler.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns filled their last two roster spots this week with the signings of backup guards Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler, adding to a younger roster led by Devin Booker and new players Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, acquired in the seven-team trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green discusses joining the team New Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green on joining the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3792],"tags":[2126,1085,7,291,2127,130,133,309,164,2125,131,290,313,7240,867,4056,6676,70,85,6,62,67,61,81,2065,472,846,11241,986,477,4055,66,83,17,55,2128,604,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-192715","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento-kings","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-az","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-butler","12":"tag-enabled","13":"tag-espn","14":"tag-espn-inc","15":"tag-golden","16":"tag-golden-state-warriors","17":"tag-highlights","18":"tag-inc","19":"tag-jimmy","20":"tag-jimmy-butler","21":"tag-jonathan","22":"tag-jonathan-kuminga","23":"tag-kings","24":"tag-kuminga","25":"tag-national","26":"tag-national-sports","27":"tag-nba","28":"tag-neutral","29":"tag-news","30":"tag-overall","31":"tag-overall-neutral","32":"tag-phoenix","33":"tag-phoenix-suns","34":"tag-prospects","35":"tag-prospects-az","36":"tag-sacramento","37":"tag-sacramento-kings","38":"tag-sacramentokings","39":"tag-sports","40":"tag-sports-news","41":"tag-state","42":"tag-story","43":"tag-story-highlights-ai-enabled","44":"tag-suns","45":"tag-warriors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114910951352507218","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
