Warriors Predicted to Send Jonathan Kuminga to Trail Blazers for $55 Million Defensive Duo in Offseason Trade

Warriors Predicted to Send Jonathan Kuminga to Trail Blazers for $55 Million Defensive Duo in Offseason Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The NBA offseason has slowed down a ton since the end of the Summer League but despite that, one headline has remained the talk around the league.

That would be the ongoing saga between the Golden State Warriors and restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.

Of course, it has been reported that Kuminga has turned down the Warriors’ contract offer and while other teams have offered him a contract in free agency, they have failed to meet Golden State’s high asking price in a potential sign-and-trade.

As the Warriors continue to await Kuminga’s decision, they have already missed out on many free agent targets as they have failed to make any additions to their roster outside of the 2025 draft.

Because of this, Golden State is likely wanting Kuminga’s ongoing situation to end as soon as possible so that they can start upgrading their roster and Sports Illustrated’s Rohan Raman recently released a mock trade that would send the young forward to the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the trade, the Warriors would send Kuminga and two first-round picks to the Trail Blazers in exchange for Toumani Camara and Robert Williams III while also receiving a 2026 second-round pick from the Atlanta Hawks for Gui Santos.

Portland would also send Matisse Thybulle to Atlanta for Kobe Bufkin and a 2030 second-round pick.

This would be an interesting trade for every team involved as the Trail Blazers would land another young player to build around while the Warriors would address two key needs on their roster.

For Golden State, adding a young defensive-minded forward in Camara would be a great addition to their roster as he would provide them with another great scorer and defender in their lineup.

The Warriors would also fill their hole at the center position by adding Williams III who is a great defender and solid inside scorer, though he has had injury problems throughout his career.

While this trade would work out for the Warriors, it would be a major risk for them to give up two future first-round picks and the Trail Blazers may also be unwilling to move on from Camara after he showed out for them last season.
