The Golden State Warriors are looking for a “good player” and an unprotected first-round pick in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
“The Warriors have been defiant. They want a good player, they also want an unprotected first-round pick, a good first round pick,” said Charania.
Charania adds that the Kings have offered a conditional first-round pick and a rotation player for Kuminga, with the Warriors wanting the Kings to remove the protections from the pick.
With the Suns not having a first-round pick to trade, their offer would consist of 1-2 rotation players and second-round draft picks, according to Charania.
The Warriors are not looking to take on salary in return for Kuminga.
The Warriors are also shutting down sign-and-trade talks as of now and believe Kuminga will be on the roster to start the season, according to Anthony Slater.
Kuminga continues to decline the Warriors’ two-year, $45 million offer.
