lol, and a lot of Warriors fans are all thinking if they keep Kuminga then he can be flipped for Giannis. Meanwhile, Milwaukee won’t even give them Portis for him.

Just shows the only reason the Warriors haven’t shipped him out for peanuts yet is there is a massive difference between how they value Kuminga and the fans who want top return for him.

The problem the Warriors have is they have spent the past year complaining about how he hasn't progressed like they think he should. Then they want to trade him as though he is one of the best prospects around. You can't have it both ways.

While I think Matt George is pretty hacky, I think his framing here is useful and largely correct. The Kings' front office is being opportunistic while offering the Warriors a reasonable off-ramp for their self-created Kuminga problem. If Golden State elects not to take that off-ramp, the Kings have lost nothing and the Warriors remain stuck with the same problem and no attractive way out.
