Was Jonathan Kuminga restricted free agency’s biggest loser?

The NBA offseason saw four restricted free agents, including Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, finalize contracts late. Kuminga signed a two-year, $48.5 million deal, but his role has diminished this season, making him a prime trade candidate as the Warriors, described as a "fading dynasty," can now trade him.

Analysts discussed Kuminga's situation, noting a disconnect between his self-perception as a star and his actual on-court role. He is viewed as an athletic player with potential but lacking in basketball IQ and ancillary skills. Critics point out he hasn't embraced the defensive and off-ball responsibilities Coach Steve Kerr emphasizes, leading to his reduced playing time.

Kuminga's trade value is considered low, and a change of scenery is seen as necessary for both parties. While he started the season well, his current standing with the Warriors suggests an imminent split, with a move to a team needing bench depth viewed as the likely next step.
