Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Well, we’ve basically already explained this from the Warriors’ point of view. They don’t have the bandwidth to support Kuminga.
It seems as if he’s unhappy as a result. Rostering an unhappy player is never optimal. The Warriors might want to get ahead of this situation.
This would be the right way to do it. Tate is a solid player. This is a multi-positional defender who has a knack for setting up teammates. He could be a meaningful part of the Warriors’ rotation next season.

Of course, Kuminga is a high-end prospect. He’s got more trade value than just Tate. That’s why the Warriors are getting two unprotected first-round picks in this deal as well.
They can figure out whether they’ve got time to use them later.
