Proposed three-team Warriors trade sees Golden State deal Jonathan Kuminga for $90 million 14.1 PPG star forward<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors<\/a> have a conundrum on their hands: star forward Jonathan Kuminga wants out. And while they could keep him, dealing him for someone who wants to actually play for the Warriors might be a better idea.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report\u2019s Greg Swartz<\/a> believes so too, and proposes the Warriors make a three-team trade with the Phoenix Suns<\/a> and Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> for Cavs forward De\u2019Andre Hunter. Hunter basically brings the same talent as Kuminga, with better defense and a longer contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The trade would look like this:<\/p>\n

Warriors get: F De’Andre Hunter<\/p>\n

Phoenix Suns get: F Jonathan Kuminga, C Trayce Jackson-Davis<\/p>\n

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Royce O’Neale, F Ryan Dunn, C Nick Richards<\/p>\n

\u201cDe’Andre Hunter, 28, is a near-identical salary match to Kuminga ($23.3 million to $22.5 million), and adding in Trayce Jackson-Davis actually helps the Warriors shed a little money and stay below the second apron\u2026His laid-back personality and drama-free game would be a refreshing change of pace for a Warriors organization that’s had to pretend the house wasn’t on fire even though Kuminga was constantly running around with a box of matches,\u201d Swartz wrote.<\/p>\n

This season, Hunter is averaging 14.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. He\u2019s also an elite shooter, with a career 3pt% of .366. He could slot in perfectly with the Warriors’ core and give them a second wind.<\/p>\n

Everyone in this trade gets what they want. The Warriors get a replacement for Kuminga, the Suns finally get Kuminga, and the Cavs get role players that fill holes in their roster, while shedding payroll. If the Warriors are smart, they\u2019ll propose the deal to their prospective partners.<\/p>\n
