The cream of Golden State’s young crop of talent is Jonathan Kuminga, who didn’t agree on a rookie-scale extension with the Dubs and will thus enter free agency this summer. Kuminga is considered a huge trade chip for the Warriors, and he’d be a great fit on the Nets, per a new report from Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz.
“The Brooklyn Nets have somehow stayed in the playoff picture, which says more about the state of the East than it does the talent on this team,” Swartz said.
“The Nets should still be exploring deals for high-upside prospects at the deadline with the goal of improving this roster for the future.”
“Kuminga, 22, averages 15.2 points for a Golden State team that didn’t get an extension done with him this past offseason. His athleticism is already off the charts, with All-Star potential to follow if Kuminga can improve his outside shot and passing.”
