The Golden State Warriors have been predicted to trade Jonathan Kuminga to a Western Conference contender in a three-team deal this offseason.

The Golden State Warriors have had an underwhelming offseason thus far as they continue to deal with the situation surrounding restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
Kuminga is still deciding on the next chapter of his NBA career after he fell out of Steve Kerr’s rotation last season.
As of now, the only reported teams interested in Kuminga are the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns and it will be difficult for either of them to acquire him as they would have to pull off a sign-and-trade deal with the Warriors.
Golden State has already turned down trade offers from both teams and while the sides continue to talk, there could be another team that could enter the Kuminga sweepstakes.
With this in mind, Sports Illustrated’s Jackson Caudell recently created a mock trade that would send Kuminga to the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team deal that includes the Atlanta Hawks.
In the trade, the Warriors would send Kuminga to the Clippers in exchange for Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kobe Brown and three second-round picks while the Hawks would land Kris Dunn from Los Angeles.
This would be an interesting trade for every team involved and one that is unlikely to happen due to the Warriors’ high asking price for Kuminga.
The Clippers may also not be the best fit for Kuminga as he would likely come off the bench if they were able to acquire him where he would rather be in a starting lineup, which would likely be the case with either the Suns or Kings.
Despite this, the Clippers lack young talent on their roster and they could elect to add Kuminga to build around him in the future whenever Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, James Harden and Bradley Beal are gone.
While that may be the case, the Warriors would likely want more in return for their young forward.
