Jonathan Kuminga Sparks Frenzy: Which 3 NBA Teams Are Racing to Secure His Talent?

Jonathan Kuminga’s back with the Golden State Warriors—but hold on, don’t start celebrating just yet. You ever wonder what it’s like to sign a shiny new contract only to have three other NBA teams eyeing you like a prized steak at a barbecue? That’s exactly the scene unfolding here. The Bulls, Kings, and Suns aren’t just casual admirers; they’re reportedly lining up to swoop in before February’s trade deadline. Sacramento’s interest isn’t exactly a surprise—they’ve been circling Kuminga for a while, and many thought a sign-and-trade deal was imminent. But now? It feels like the Warriors might be tipping their hand, ready to flip Kuminga’s jersey elsewhere. Meanwhile, Kuminga’s grinding away, trying to rack up minutes and build value—not just for Golden State, but for whoever claims him next. It’s a high-stakes game of musical chairs, and the question is: who will pull the trigger first?

Jonathan Kuminga is now officially back with the Golden State Warriors, but he may not be there for long.

Even though he just inked a new deal, many reports state that he could be leaving the team by the trade deadline in February.

According to Jake Fischer, he is already receiving interest from three other teams: the Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns.

Seeing these teams pop up in this list isn’t surprising.

That’s especially true for the Kings, who have allegedly had an eye on Kuminga for some time.

In fact, a lot of people thought the Warriors would create a sign-and-trade deal that sent Kuminga to Sacramento, but that never happened.

They would obviously be one of the most-watched teams here, because they want Kuminga and will spend the next few months figuring out how to get him.

The Bulls and Suns would also be smart to try for him as well, because he is the sort of young player who can instantly fit into most rotations and could be built around.

It seems that the Warriors are serious about moving him later in the season.

As the trade deadline gets closer, there will be rumors of other teams contemplating a run at Kuminga.

Until then, he will try to earn as many minutes as possible with the Warriors.

This will not only help his current team, but it’ll make him more attractive to potential future squads as well.

Fans can expect to see Kuminga playing hard this year, laying the groundwork for what’s to come.
