Warriors Trade Offer LEAKED…
Folks, we have an update on the Jonathan Kaminga free agency. We talked about before it happened, the restricted free agency. It could be a slow drawn out process as he looks for 20 to $30 million. Warriors, they gave him the qualifying offer, 7.9 million. What’s happening next? A big stalemate. Well, we’re now hearing some wor excuse me, whispers. I was going to say murmurs. Came out weird. whispers out of the Kaminga camp about what they’re doing moving forward. So, we’re going to break that down for you and review this whole situation. I know you all have been getting a lot of videos from us, myself and Arthur. That’s our job here at Warriors Digest to keep you up to date. I’m going to say for one second, folks. I read all the comments. I may not reply to all of them, but I read them. We’re doing our job as reporters on Warriors Digest, giving you the news. Yes, we want to report something signed. That’s not our fault. It hasn’t happened. But when there’s news being shared about potential trades, potential free agents coming in, it’s our job at Digest Media, Warriors Digest, to share the news. You may be more in tune watching right now than the average person out there. Maybe we have people watching from over 30 countries on average per video. It’s amazing. We love it. I can show you the stats if you want to see the next video. But that person, their one source of media may only be Warriors Digest. You may be getting it from Twitter X, Tik Tok, wherever. You may be living in the Bay America. You see it more. So for us here at Warriors Digest, it’s our job to share the news with everybody globally. And that’s what I love to do. And that’s where we’re sharing the news today. So if you want the news daily, yes, I want to talk about Kaminga sign is Al Horford sign somebody whatever it may be Kaminga leaving, but we have to keep update on what’s happening on a daily basis. And that’s where per Evans Cery and Anthony Slater, two very knowledgeable reporters, insiders around the NBA. So I’m not just putting out some random rumor from some Twitter account. Yes, I’m letting you know where we get our sources. I always do. Kaminga plans to meet with in interested teams next week in Las Vegas. If the Warriors have not signed him to a new deal yet, summer league is starting. What’s today? Today’s the 5th to like September July 8th. Kaminga’s camp continues to field interest from other teams as his restrictive free agency plays out. Again, either trying to get an offer or potentially a sign and trade. I put out a video a couple days ago. Warriors are looking for a first round pick and a promising young player in a sign and trade with Kaminga. The Kings offered Devin Carter, a firstear player last year. Dario Sarich, a former Warrior, and two second round picks. So, you’re getting basically a backup point guard who has, you know, a future ahead of him who knows the potential. A power forward, knows the Warriors system, a bit older, barely played for the Nuggets, and two second round picks for the person you took in the number seven pick in 2021 NBA draft. Uh, I think that’s a loss for us. We also broke down the Wizards, Bucks, Heats, Bulls, and Nets. That video is linked below. I said maybe uh Josh Giddy, he’s a restricted free agent. A trade there between two teams could be a advantage. Kobe White, I don’t think the Nets are Bulls are giving up for him. Uh Buch from the Heat would be nice. Other than that, not a lot of teams going in. So, yes, I’m going to use chat GPT to show you guys something just to give an update on how we got to this situation because again, um I want to make sure we’re all on the same page. The Warriors gave Kaminga the 7.9 million qualifying offer. He can take that and that means he’d be on his final year and next year he would be a free agent, unrestricted free agent. There will it, excuse me, there’s a lot more money in free agency at that point. A lot of more teams will have cap space moving into next year. Right now we’re in a stale stalemate after four days. Kaminga open to departing staying warriors holding firm. Al Horford’s decision could also impact their finances. Horford may be looking for 5 to 10 million. That could mean that Kaminga would need to uh take less money potentially. Trade interest we just talked about. We’ve seen a lot of free creatants go off the market. So right now Kamingus the BC option for teams. Are they willing to give 20 30 million which is what he wants? Maybe they’ll give three years 45 million like what Dennis Schroer got 15 million per year. If no material deal happens by July 6, Kaminga could resign in Golden State. Today is July 5th. Play the season become a restricted free agent. Again right now roster flexibility is unclear until we get Kaminga. And why do I say that? We’re going to break out our resty. Boom. Look at the column. 2526, folks. 170 million in salary cap. We can’t go over the second apron. You’re in purgatory in roster construction. $36 million is what you have to play with in free agency. If Kaminga is trying to get 20 million per year, which I don’t think he’s going to get, he’s not worth it at this point based off of other free agent deals. Let’s call it 10 to 15 million. Then you have basically 20 to$25 million to play with. Al Horford maybe he wants five to eight that veterans min excuse me that mid-level tax payer exception. Then you still have to fill out the rest of the roster with Curry, Butler, Green being very topheavy, especially Butler and Curry making that much money. Then you are really stuck not rounding out this team. Well, and I do see the comments, why are Curry and Butler not taking less money, restructuring their contract? I’m pretty sure in the NBA, and please correct me if I’m wrong, chat, comments, fans. You can’t restructure your NBA contract. NFL you can to open up more money. In NBA, I don’t think you can do it. I haven’t really heard about that happening. And this could be a reason why they wouldn’t because like fair enough folks, we know Curry and Butler are set for life. They’re set for generations after generations. They don’t need $59 million. It’s a thing, of course, when you’re that good, you want to be paid the money you think you’ve owed. But if if it’s at the cost of your team, being able to feel the championship team, personally, I would take 20 million less and allow my team to have more well-roundedness all around. So, that’s where again, now you’re just waiting on what’s happening with Kaminga. And it seems like this is going to drag out into a second week of Champions League dragging out with him going to Vegas. They meet with teams, his agents to meet with teams. So this is disappointing folks because of course we wanted this to be done. We wanted more players. Warriors have not done anything in free agent. See ESPN free agents. Morates Wagner is going back to the Magic. Not surprising with his brother there, but I he could have been a nice fit with us running gun type of player. Then you get Jackson Haye as a center returning to LA backing up D Andre Aton. So now you really don’t have any centers there. It’s Al Horford power forward center or you make a trade. So this is disappointing folks. there’s really nobody left in the market. It feels like the Warriors are getting pigeon holed to having to deal with Kaminga. And when I say deal with, like if you don’t get Kaminga, your team’s not getting better. Or maybe you do think that your team is better without Kaminga. But the talent he has, what he can provide the team. We saw what he did against Minnesota with Curry out is pretty impactful. So folks, I want you to comment your thoughts. Let me know. Do you think Kaminga will stay or go? And of course, anything around Words Digest, we want you to subscribe. Thank you for helping us hit 13,000 fans. Doing our job here to get you the news that you need, whether you like it or not. News is news. We’ll see you in the next video.
The Warriors reportedly turned down a sign-and-trade offer from the Sacramento Kings. The prize for the Warriors is Dario Saric and 2nd-round draft picks, while Jonathan Kuminga goes to the Kings. Randy Silver on Warriors Digest breaks it all down.

Why would we sign back Dario Šarić didn’t we just let him go should of just sign back looney
JK Moody TJD and Buddy for Trey Murphy and Herb Jones or Just JK for Matas Buzelis/ Keegan Murray and a pick
Trade Podz we be good .. I’ll trade Podz for a bag of sunflower seed
Only move for the Warriors is to package a sign and trade of Kuminga and Green along with picks to Bucks for Giannis. And yes even though the Warriors would be taking on more salary with Giannis they can make this trade work. I don't think the Bucks are going to trade Giannis though. I do think they have enough future picks for the Bucks to consider. W. boxed themselves in with the Green deal.
Why are we considering on trading for players we already had and rejected a couple of years ago? I don't get it, there's even speculations about Wiggins or Durant rejoining again for trade. If they were traded or we gave up on them, why do we want them back just to swap with Kuminga?
After kuminga turned down that first extension that was a sign to trade him last season they waited too long an dumleavy can pay all these old players but we couldve kept klay!!!
Love to see a JK for Giddey trade!!! Warrriors wanted Giddey in the draft and we're ready to select him but OKC surprised everyone by taking him
The warriors are stupid why sign him if Kerr don’t play him Kerr rather play his son Podz
Golden state News is never actual news , it gets old, I hate to push the button!
Not gonna happen if the Warriors are smart.
Wiggins for:
Kuminga
Moody
Would be awesome!
FO needs to ignore fans and Kerr and just keep JK. If Kerr doesn’t want to update his system he can go at the end of the season. No sense in getting older and sucking in a year with no young guys to build on for the future. None of these trades are any good
Thanks for your reporting. There is no market for what Kuminga is asking and the Warriors know this. The result will be JK with the Warriors next year. AH from Boston is the best available for the Warriors. As far as the free agent market, the Warriors are winners if they can sign AH. You know DL who was waived by the Bucks will be with the Warriors. In summary, the Warriors are in perfect position to trade for Giannis if that is his desire. The Warriors is also in perfect position in the free agent market for AH because they lost Looney. Also, the Warriors are in perfect position to do nothing because of the draft choices and the availability of DH from the Bucks. I think this is one of the best free agent and draft seasons that the Warriors have had. Steve Kerr will have everything he wants going into next season. If he does not win the Championship, the Warriors are in position to start the following season with a head coach who can develop talent and height that can develop both. The Lakers, on the other hand is not better and can do nothing outside of finishing LeBron’s contract.
Didn't they already have Sarge?
We better not do this trade. We might as well go for Coby white and take a pick or go to the pelicans
Talk about stupid front office. If you knew you didn't want Kuminga, you should have been building him up and making him look phenomenal so other teams would trade more assets in return. You don't not play the kid, DNP him, then say things like he is low IQ or not a winning player….that tanks his value. Now you expect other teams to trade good assets for Kuminga??? That is beyond stupid.
If the Warriors do this trade, it means they will get the number 1 pick next year.
they low-balled jk and then underutilized him this season to justify their action. then they give a fortune to green and jimmy, both past their peak.
Still waiting for when we talk about Kerr's role in this mess
If I was jk, I’m out. Kerr won’t play him.
jk averaged 15.3 per game while being misused. 7.9? at 22 he was more productive many guys. give him his bag and let him play his game. silver the sycophant states he ain't worth 20 m but forgets the bullshit kerr pulled season long.
They should have fired Kerr and hired Mike Brown and then they could keep Kuminga and be a better team.
Kings are willing to offer JK the money he is asking, the problem is warriors are scared to trade him. End of story! You think JK is worth 10 – 20 million- really? Less than Moody? So funny?
I think Jk has to take the qualifying offer and request a trade! If he can’t request a trade, become unrestricted free agent and walk away free. I don’t trust this team not the coach when it comes to JK.
As a warriors fan, it saddens me to see my team try to destroy someone’s career. After DNPing him and Kerr saying “he is not the type of player I play 38 minutes”, what value are they trying to get. This is malpractice!
BROOOO
A kings first round pick would not be terrible if we got a couple players as well. Kings will be a lottery team
Bye bye curry career 🤦🏾♂️
I heard that the Lakers are talking about acquiring Wiggins from the Heat. That would help them against the Dubs. 😢
Darn it, Lakers are expecting to sign De'Anthony Melton. 😢
Kuminga, a future hall of famer or off the bench for warriors
The Dario Saric offer is a joke, Ranadive is just trying to stick it to his former team. Any discussion with the Kings starts and ends with Keegan Murray.
Josh Giddy would be an interesting option but of course he might want as much or more money as Kuminga. But he probably fits with Kerr’s philosophy a little bit better. Would need to see what he wants in terms of money first.
At this point watching how young players been misused by kerr i would dread coming to the warriors. We deserately need youth but pay huge contracts out to players who "do anything to win". What about less money so we can sign people or trade? The youth we do have gets played random minutes and down talked by our own coach and tanked value. Our old players play heavy minutes and get injured or in Drays case ejected or fouled out. Most teams that passed us used home grown youth, athleticism, and size. Is kerr really unable to adjust to help a 35+ year old core he wanted?
Honestly I think a sign – and – trade will happen now this has been a pain in the azz because it’s been so dragged out but it’s a business so I personally understand it but I’m hopeful that a resolution comes soon so we can move on.
PLEASE STOP THIS!!! You keep posting a new video every 2-3 hours with no real news just for clicks. Next video with no real news, I unsubscribe!!!!!
Not a good breakdown or nuance on the Kuminga situation.
Broooo cam whitmore just got traded to the wizards for 2 second round picks…. WE COULD'VE USE HIM. MIKE PLEASE MAKE A MOVE
Contract restructures can only transpire if the deal has 4 or more seasons
Move Jimmy, Podz, Dray, Mood, TJD and whatever picks we can find for Giannis and Vucevic. Resign JK and Buddy.
PG Steph
SG Buddy
SF Kuminga
PF Giannis*
C Vucevic*
6* I wanted this to be Lonzo.

This is plain stupidity.
A few days ago you said that Al Horford was a done deal but it hasn’t happened. What happened then?
JK is an anachronism in a Steph centric offensive system. If he remains on GSW, it'll be more of the same and an albatross around one's neck. At this point, GSW should focus on Steph's last remaining competitive years and add a piece that works in this system. JK is not it. Sign and trade now.
It's entertaining, reading all the Dub fans (babies) comments. This was always going to be a rough off season. Not many teams really want Kuminga. The one's that do are not offering much. The Dubs are tied until this gets resolved. Calm down everyone.
Kerr is the low IQ . He can’t win without curry 😂
Dario for Kuminga and a second round picks is a joke. The Warriors didn't play him to lessen his value. They do this with all their picks.
stay nobody paying 30 million to unproven player in 2025
Hope we keep JK, but if can get him cheap enough to add a quality CENTER.
