This summer, the Warriors have been fielding calls to trade 5th-year forward Jonathan Kuminga. Most notably, rumors have been flying around between the Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. The Kings previously offered Devin Carter and Dario Šarić, but the Warriors rejected this offer. The Kings have revised this offer and added picks, but it seems the Warriors want a young, rotational player in return.
However, the Kings have made it clear that breakout players Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis are both
off-limits. Murray, 24, averaged 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists during the 2024-25 season. Ellis, 25, overcame a lengthy and controversial bench stint orchestrated by former Kings coach Mike Brown last season. He averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.5 assists last season, and it’s clear the Kings believe in him to continue on an upward trajectory. Kuminga is a younger player with better scoring and defense than Murray last season alone, so it is unclear why the Kings don’t want to take a chance with him.
Ideally, here at lisco_2000’s little corner of Golden State of Mind, we’d like to see the Warriors accept an offer for Dario Šarić if possible. You know why.
