Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
We’ve basically already written this slide. Feel free to read through the rest of the article, and move on.
The Warriors don’t have developmental reps for Kuminga. As a result, he seems to want a trade. In all likelihood, they’ll grant him one this summer.
They probably can’t land a high lottery pick for him. Kuminga is two years into his NBA career. Most rebuilding teams will prefer to simply draft the rookie that they most believe in.
With that in mind, the Warriors can still land a solid prospect at 13. They could likely target Nick Smith Jr., Kobe Bufkin, Derreck Lively III, or Leonard Miller.
