Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga drawing interest from new Western Conference team
We're three weeks into free agency and Jonathan Kuminga is still a restricted free agent. The explosive forward appears to be in a stalemate with the Golden State Warriors, with rumors of multiple teams considering a sign-and-trade offer to acquire the former lottery pick. According to a July 17 report from NBA Insider Jake Fischer, the Phoenix Suns, who recently bought out Bradley Beal's contract, are the latest team to be linked with a potential move for Kuminga. Fischer did note that Phoenix is unlikely to emerge as favorites for Kuminga, in large part due to their lack of tradeable assets and overall flexibility. "Sources say Phoenix, meanwhile, is the latest team to express exploratory interest in a Kuminga sign-and-trade ... challenging as it would be for the Suns to make such a deal happen," Fischer reported. "...The Suns, to be clear, do not appear to possess the sort of draft capital or players that Golden State is believed to be seeking in exchange for Kuminga. Yet he certainly did come up in trade talks between the teams during the season, sources say, when the Warriors were pursuing the re-acquisition of Kevin Durant." Kuminga's future with the Warriors has been a hot topic since the Warriors entered the offseason. It's clear that his career path projects to be away from the Bay Area. However, given his limited free agency market, he may need to remain patient before getting the move he needs, in order to push forward with his career. After all, Kerr recently admitted that he can't commit to giving Kuminga a leading role within the rotation. His comments came via a May 21 appearance on "The TK Show" podcast with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic "All I do is I coach the team every year and try to put the puzzle together the best I can," Kerr said. "I've, you know, it's a tricky one because Jonathan obviously is gifted and wants to play a bigger role and wants to play more. And, I've been asked to win. Right now, he's not a guy who I can say that I'm going to play 38 minutes with the roster that we have…Doesn't mean he's not a really good player. Doesn't mean he's not talented. It just means the fit. And with the roster that we have, it's tricky." Sooner or later, the Warriors will need to decide on how they're going to move forward. They can either re-sign Kuminga and look to trade him later in the basketball season. Alternatively, they can become aggressive in seeking a willing sign-and-trade partner to resolve the stalemate and obtain some assets for their efforts. As things stand, Golden State could go either way. Still, Warriors fans and the front office will likely want the saga to end in the near future. This post originally appeared on Warriors Wire!

Indian Clothing: Also, Fischer revealed that they have adopted Indian clothing styles, even perfecting the art of draping a saree.

'I became a vegetarian, and it is surprisingly easy here," she stated. 'India offers so much variety to vegetarian food that I don't even think twice about it anymore."

I love the fashions and the feel of the clothes here. No more week-old I buy fresh and locally sourced food from street vendors. I became a vegetarian, and it is surprisingly easy here.

NBA Insider reveals shocking Jrue Holiday trade details
The Boston Celtics began to re-tool their once championship roster this offseason by trading away point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers. However, per NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Celtics turned down a very aggressive offer from the Toronto Raptors. Appearing on CLNS' 'The Garden Report' Fischer stated that the Raptors dangled the idea of giving the Celtics the No. 9 overall pick in this year's draft in exchange for Derrick White or Jrue Holiday. However, the Celtics were turned off by the idea of having to take on the contract of RJ Barrett, and elected to agree to the Trail Blazers' offer for Anfernee Simons, who's contract expires after next season. The Raptors would keep their pick, and draft Collin-Murray Boyles. ' I don't think Boston ever really was so interested in that selection for one of those types of guys,' Fischer said. Holiday spent two seasons in Boston and averaged 11.8 points and 4.4 assists per game. He was instrumental in the team's run to the championship in 2024, but wasn't nearly as effective this past season, leading to the Celtics decision to move on. Fischer was not surprised to see the team move on from Holiday, but believes that players such as White, and Jaylen Brown were never actually as available as some may have thought despite aggressive offers such as the ones coming in from Toronto. 'I think the fact that they moved Jrue, and Porzingis was also expected,' he said. ' I think all along there was never really a plan to move Jaylen or Derrick. So I don't think anything got close. I don't think they were really willing to move those guys either.'
