The Golden State Warriors are treading cautiously in NBA free agency, opting to build around their current core instead of pursuing high-profile free agents. A focal point of discussion is Jonathan Kuminga, whose trade prospects are drawing interest from the Milwaukee Bucks, who are reportedly considering sign-and-trade offers. The Bucks may need to include a first-round pick and a promising prospect to entice the Warriors.

Currently, Kuminga is in a holding pattern during restricted free agency, with no substantial offers on the table. Reports suggest the Warriors might pursue a short-term compromise contract to retain him through December, allowing him to showcase his value before potential trades midseason. This scenario keeps options open for both parties, with Kuminga remaining a crucial player to watch.
