Jonathan Kuminga is potentially on his way out of Golden State this summer via a sign-and-trade, but the Warriors reportedly aren't interested in partnering with their in-state rival in a trade.

With the NBA Finals and draft complete, the league's offseason frenzy is taking center stage. Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is headed to the Houston Rockets. Teams around the league are keeping an eye on two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency saga has been hanging over the Golden State Warriors like a storm cloud since the beginning of the 2025 NBA offseason. The 22-year-old rising star proved that he could assume a role as a playoff team's leading scorer during the Warriors' eventual defeat in the 2025 Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves with 4-time NBA champion Stephen Curry missing due to injury.

That's basically Batum in a nutshell—smart enough to see all on the basketball court, skilled enough to capitalize on what he sees. He has 17 seasons under his belt, and his teams have been at least 2.1 points better per 100 possessions with him than without in all but five of them.

The first wave of NBA free agency has come and gone, but there are still some good free agents left on the open market.

There aren’t many sports where signing a single player has the potential to dramatically improve a team’s fortunes quite like basketball, and there are a ton of instances where NBA franchises have turned things after landing a big name in free agency.
