The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Sactown Sports 1140 discussed the implications of a potential sign-and-trade deal between the Kings and Warriors, linking the futures of nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook and Kuminga.

The Warriors made their desire to compete for another championship clear when they acquired Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat last season. With Stephen Curry now 37 years old and likely approaching the twilight of his career, Golden State's dynasty could be nearing its end.

Jonathan Kuminga’s contract impasse with the Warriors technically started in late June, when the forward entered free agency after Golden State tendered him a $7.9 million, one-year qualifying offer.
