Harsh Reality of Potential Warriors-Suns Trade: Report

Multiple teams have been reported to have shown interest in a sign-and-trade for Kuminga this offseason, primarily the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings, but the Phoenix Suns are the latest team to be mentioned as a potential suitor.

Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin confirmed that the Suns have interest in Kuminga, but shared the harsh reality of why a trade between Phoenix and Golden State is unlikely.

"The Suns have interest in Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, league sources confirmed to The Republic, but are unlikely to land him because they lack the draft capital and assets to deliver in what would be a sign-and-trade for the Warriors," Rankin wrote.

The Suns undoubtedly have limited assets to give to the Warriors in a potential Warriors deal, especially as they simply try to build back what they lost from their failed Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal era.

At this point in the offseason, the most likely suitor for Kuminga seems to be the Bulls, but there is a growing possibility that he simply re-signs with the Warriors for less than his asking price.
