That doesn\u2019t mean Kuminga will just sign as a free agent with another team, as the Warriors could use him in a sign-and-trade.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent trade proposal to help the Warriors maximize their championship window from Fade Away World, they\u2019d accomplish that. The deal would move on from Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Brandin Podziemski, a 2028 first-round pick, and a 2031 first-round pick for Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Golden State Warriors, aiming to maximize Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler\u2019s championship windows, pursue a bold move by acquiring Joel Embiid. Embiid, despite a dip in production due to injuries, averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists over 19 games in the 2024\u201325 season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis presence would provide the Warriors with a dominant interior force, complementing Curry\u2019s perimeter prowess. However, Golden State parts with promising talents like Jonathan Kuminga, who contributed 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, and Trayce Jackson-Davis, signaling a shift from developing youth to immediate contention,\u201d Eddie Bitar wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Does Joel Embiid Make Sense for Warriors?<\/h2>\n<p>Despite some of the injury concerns throughout Embiid\u2019s career, if the Golden State Warriors could land him for this type of package, it\u2019s something that has to be done.<\/p>\n<p>He averaged 34.7 points during the 2023-24 season. When he was last somewhat healthy, which was in the 2022-23 season, he averaged 34.6 points and shot 54.8% from the field. He also added in 10.2 rebounds per game for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Philadelphia 76ers have an opportunity to win a championship if Embiid is healthy, meaning that moving on from the 31-year-old, while the injuries are tough to ignore, doesn\u2019t make too much sense.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is It Time for Warriors to Sell High on Jonathan Kuminga?<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding Kuminga\u2019s future with the Golden State Warriors, it doesn\u2019t look too bright.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on a recent podcast, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he must win now and can\u2019t play someone who doesn\u2019t help the team win.<\/p>\n<p>That points directly at Kuminga and shows what comes this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been asked to win, and right now, he\u2019s not a guy who I can say I\u2019m gonna play 38 minutes with the roster that we have \u2014 Steph [Curry], and Jimmy [Butler], and Draymond [Green] \u2014 and put the puzzle together that way and expect to win,\u201d Kerr said , per SF Gate. \u201cDoesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not a really good player. Doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not talented. It just means with the fit and with the roster we have, it is tricky, there\u2019s no question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can talk details, we can talk spacing, usage rate, all that stuff, but the game is about the puzzle fitting. It\u2019s about five guys complementing one another at both ends of the floor. All I do is I try to win, and that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean everybody\u2019s gonna be happy, whether it\u2019s the fans, or the players, or management, whatever. I just gotta do what I think is best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
