Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

Yep, GS wants a way to get value for Kuminga, but he doesnt fit their roster and taking back a trade match is problematic to their other preferences. They're kinda stuck. No one has cap room to offer a pick and no salary trade. He's not in very high demand at the salary he wants. What do they do?

Is there a number at which Kuminga goes to Chicago, PJ goes to GSW and Coby White comes to Dallas.  Something like $20mm keeps the Chicago part of this within the $7.5mm rule.  Dallas drops about $1.2mm further below the second apron.

GSW just needs too many bodies to reserve the Full MLE while taking back someone like PJ.  I've seen speculation that Horford would take the smaller MLE and Melton would take a minimum.  So, that part works.  I could easily see PJ being someone the Warriors would be interested in.
