Golden State Warriors Receive: F/C Daniel Theis, 2023 First-Round Pick (CLE via IND), 2024 First-Round Pick (IND), 2026 First-Round Pick (IND)
Indiana Pacers Receive: F Jonathan Kuminga
With that said, there’s a related question here: would Indiana be a good situation for Kuminga?
It’s hard to say. With that said, it’s beginning to feel like Golden State can’t provide Kuminga with an optimal situation. Some will have a hard time wrapping their head around that fact.
Fair. The Warriors are contenders. This organization has been the model of consistency in recent years.
Wouldn’t that make them an optimal landing spot for a player like Kuminga?
Not if that player wants opportunities. Kuminga was a lottery pick, and so far, he’s spent the first two years of his NBA career as a role player.

Now, it feels like Kuminga wants more. It would take a trade to make it happen, unless Draymond Green was to depart in free agency.
Should the Pacers offer it to him?
