Jonathan Kuminga's uncertain status as a restricted free agent has captured headlines as the NBA offseason unfolds. The Golden State Warriors are weighing a sign-and-trade option, though it seems both Kuminga and the team are leaning towards a split. As negotiations stall, potential suitors like the Chicago Bulls and Phoenix Suns are eyeing Kuminga, particularly the Suns who proposed a deal involving Grayson Allen. However, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy has rejected the offer due to Allen's hefty contract that would complicate their financial situation.

Grayson Allen has emerged as one of the NBA's top three-point shooters, but his $70 million contract raises concerns for a Warriors team that thrives on perimeter shooting. At 29, he averaged 10.6 points and 3.0 rebounds, making him a valuable trade asset. Yet, his contract and player option for 2027-28 deter the Warriors from pursuing a trade, as they seek to optimize their roster for the upcoming season.
