The Sacramento Kings believe Jonathan Kuminga wants to join their team, sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic. The Kings and Phoenix Suns have maintained interest in acquiring Kuminga this offseason via a sign-and-trade agreement with the Golden State Warriors.
The Kings have offered Malik Monk and a protected 2030 first round pick in exchange for Kuminga, who would sign a three-year, $63 million contract. The Warriors would likely have to trade either Moses Moody or Buddy Hield in order to facilitate that trade.
Kuminga is seeking a larger role than the one he’s had with the Warriors.
In 47 games last season, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.3 minutes.
