"Jonathan Kuminga is in the news for all the wrong reasons again, and it's just a clear reminder that the Miami Heat made the right decision to pass on a trade for him back in the offseason. Kuminga, who has been in and out of the lineup all season due to injuries, has reportedly requested a trade away from the Golden State Warriors on the first day that he officially becomes trade-eligible."
"The Kuminga trade saga is nothing new. During the offseason, Kuminga tested restricted free agency, and he was the subject of a few trade inquiries. The Heat being one of them. However, in the end, the Heat didn't want to A) pay the trade compensation that the Warriors were seeking or B) pay Kuminga the contract that it was going to take to find an equal footing."
Jonathan Kuminga requested a trade from the Golden State Warriors on the first day he became trade-eligible after spending the season in and out of the lineup with injuries. He re-signed with Golden State after testing restricted free agency, and the Miami Heat explored but ultimately declined to match the Warriors' compensation demands or offer the contract required. Kuminga's season has been marked by inconsistent availability and underwhelming efficiency, averaging 12 points and six rebounds on 43 percent shooting in 18 games. Reports indicate Kuminga and his camp would welcome a trade to Miami, but Miami has not pursued him since free agency.
