Charania also notes the Sacramento Kings\u2019 interest in Kuminga, which dates back to last NBA offseason. <\/p>\n<p>This news comes as Kuminga, still just 23 years old, officially became eligible for trade on Thursday. Kuminga <a href=\"https:\/\/larrybrownsports.com\/basketball\/warriors-jonathan-kuminga-requests-trade\/736379\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wasted no time in demanding a trade from the Warriors<\/a> as he has had issues with the team for years (<a href=\"https:\/\/larrybrownsports.com\/basketball\/steve-kerr-jonathan-kuminga-warriors-frustration\/626620\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">including with head coach Steve Kerr<\/a>). He has also effectively been a healthy scratch from the rotation since mid-December.<\/p>\n<p>The former lottery pick Kuminga, who was averaging 11.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game this season before getting removed from the rotation, is making $22.5 million this year. He also has a $24.3 million club option for 2026-27.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Mavericks, they are a surprising suitor since they are quickly fading out of the Western Conference playoff picture at 16-26 and are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline. Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall, and other players are among Dallas\u2019 possible trade chips at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>But it appears that Dallas may view Kuminga as a possible young foundational piece alongside 19-year-old rookie phenom Cooper Flagg. Kuminga also notably has <a href=\"https:\/\/larrybrownsports.com\/basketball\/interesting-report-klay-thompson-future\/725970\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a former Warriors star teammate present on the Mavericks roster right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jonathan Kuminga has another possible permutation to work with as he plots his exit out of Golden State.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,149,479,164,4025,4024,867,6,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-539962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golden-state-warriors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-dallas-mavericks","10":"tag-golden-state","11":"tag-golden-state-warriors","12":"tag-goldenstate","13":"tag-goldenstatewarriors","14":"tag-jonathan-kuminga","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-warriors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115903074487187676","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539962","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=539962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
