The initial belief that inspired the Golden State Warriors to make Jonathan Kuminga the No. 7 pick of the 2021 NBA draft has surely been shaken across his four uneven seasons together.

A local TV reporter in Sacramento, Matt George, reported that the Kings were closing in on a sign-and-trade for Kuminga that would involve Devin Carter, Dario Saric and draft pick compensation. But then Warriors beat writer Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that no deal was imminent between the Warriors and any team.

While the Warriors did not make a move during the first 24 hours of free agency, the Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets and others have made a flurry of moves.
