Warriors Bet on a Swift Kuminga Trade to Salvage the Season
With Jonathan Kuminga benched and the trade market warming, Golden State should pursue a deal before the Feb. 5 deadline. Kuminga’s $22.5 million salary (with a $24.3M option) and expiring contract give him attractive, low‑risk value for contenders, and the Warriors need to capitalize on momentum to help this year’s playoff push. Waiting for a perfect trade risks wasting Curry’s and Green’s championship window, so a practical upgrade now is favored over indecision.
