The Golden State Warriors are expected to explore trade options for Jonathan Kuminga.

The Golden State Warriors did not play Jonathan Kuminga  in their 123-91 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Steve Kerr explained why he didn’t play Kuminga against the Bulls, saying he has not played well lately.

The tension continues to grow as it seems like it’s only a matter of time until the Warriors move on from Kuminga.

The Jonathan Kuminga trade market

The Warriors won’t be able to trade Kuminga until January 15th, that’s when he’s eligible to be traded.

Even if both sides want a deal to be done, it might be tough to find a trade suitor for Kuminga.

Kuminga hasn’t been able to showcase his full value this season and he carries a two-year, $48.5-million contract, which he signed with the Warriors in September.

Brian Windhorst was asked on Instagram Threads about if the Warriors want to trade Kuminga and if teams like the Dallas Mavericks or Brooklyn Nets would want him back.

“Yes the Warriors are very much interested in trading [Jonathan] Kuminga and he’s probably interested in getting traded.

“The Mavs just lost their starting C for the season, do not assume [Daniel] Gafford will be moved.

“[Michael] Porter probably makes too much $, Warriors have a lot on their books.”

The Bucks are 10-15 and they have started off the season slow. They could consider trading the 29-year-old center if their season gets out of hand.

Turner is exactly the type of stretch big man the Warriors could use. He is averaging 12.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists so far this season.
