Jonathan Kuminga Named on Big Trade List

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is viewed as a potential trade target

In a recent article, Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley listed his top three trade targets for every NBA team. Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga was listed twice on the list, being named a top trade target for the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.

While this is of course an opinion piece, and doesn't suggest that Kuminga is being targeted or shopped, it is a possibility to consider. Kuminga's name was circulating trade rumors before the NBA draft, as several different outlets reported that the young forward could be moved for a high draft choice. This of course did not happen, but there are reasons to believe Golden State may still be open to dealing Kuminga for a more proven win-now piece.

With Golden State still somewhat thin at the forward position, there seems to be some hope that both Kuminga and Moses Moody can emerge as consistent rotation pieces next season. While Moody was one of Steve Kerr's trusted options off the bench last postseason, Kuminga was not featured as often. Because of this, it is somewhat of a gamble for Golden State to bet on Kuminga being a high-level rotation player next season, which could make him someone they look to move for a piece who better fits the win-now timeline.

As for the teams listed as possible suitors, these are always hard predictions to make at this point of the offseason, but it's likely that multiple teams would be interested in Kuminga if he did become available.
