Qualifying the future of Jonathan Kuminga with the Golden State Warriors as uncertain, expert Michael Scotto of HoopsHype points out that two teams have emerged as the top candidates to acquire the pending restricted free agent in a sign-and-trade deal.
"The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat are two teams to keep an eye on," Scotto writes.
Given Kuminga's fluctuating role with the Warriors after the acquisition of Jimmy Butler, his lukewarm relationship with coach Steve Kerr, and being included in negotiations prior to the deadline to sign Kevin Durant, which ultimately did not materialize, a change of scenery is believed to be on the horizon this summer.
The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat are two teams to watch as potential candidates to acquire Kuminga via trade, as league sources informed HoopsHype.
Scotto notes that the Warriors showed interest in acquiring Bulls' center Nikola Vucevic at the deadline, and that remains a logical target for the Dubs, who seek a scoring big man that can stretch the floor.
The Miami Heat Option
Regarding the Heat, however, Scotto reveals that Kuminga would only be a secondary option if they fail to land a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kevin Durant. Giannis is likely off the market, and according to a recent report, the Phoenix Suns don't appear interested in Miami's latest KD offer.
Many maneuvers lie ahead as the NBA quickly approaches the trade and free agency season. A major trade has already occurred involving four unprotected first-round picks.
