REPORT: Jonathan Kuminga wants to be traded to the Lakers, per league sources.

 A t this point in the NBA offseason, the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga have become one of the biggest headlines around the league.

Of course, Kuminga is currently a restricted free agent. While the Warriors would like to retain him, Kuminga has been searching for a deal that exceeds what Golden State has wanted to pay him.

With that in mind, other teams have shown interest in sign-and-trade options to acquire him.

There has not been much movement with the situation. Kuminga is arguably the biggest name left available for teams to pursue in free agency, but he won’t be cheap for another team to swoop in and steal.

Exactly what the Warriors have been willing to offer Kuminga has not been pinpointed. That can now be updated.

According to a report from NBA reporter Grant Afseth of Fastbreak Journal, Golden State has floated the framework of a two-year, $48 million contract that would include a player option to Kuminga.

“The Golden State Warriors have yet to reach an agreement with the 22-year-old forward, but league sources tell FastbreakJournal.com that one framework that has been floated is a two-year, $48 million deal that includes a player option,” Afseth wrote.

It has been reported that Kuminga would like a deal in the $30 million range. With the Warriors coming in at around $24 million per year, the two sides are not terribly far apart.

Also, a two-year deal could be of interest to Kuminga. He is just 22 years old and would be able to test the market again very soon. Having a player option would give him more control over his future as well.

During the 2024-25 NBA season with Golden State, Kuminga only played in 47 games and made 10 starts. He averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.8 steals per game, while shooting 45.4 percent from the floor and knocking down 30.5 percent from the three-point line.Kuminga is going to be a very intriguing storyline to watch in the coming days and weeks. With the offer that the Warriors have on the table, they are close to reaching what he’s looking to get in a new deal.

A sign-and-trade could still be very possible, but Golden State should not be counted out.
