Kings won’t add a first-round pick for Kuminga: Sacramento cools talks with Golden State

The Sacramento Kings still like Jonathan Kuminga, but they’re unwilling to include a first-round pick in a deal.
The report says their stance has shifted since the summer and may not change before the deadline.

The Kings remain interested in Kuminga, yet the asking price is where things stall.
While summer chatter included a possible protected first-rounder, that is reportedly off the table now.

Part of the hesitation centers on uncertainty tied to Kuminga’s next contract decision and extension timeline.
With real cost questions ahead, Sacramento appears reluctant to attach a first to the negotiations.

On the Warriors’ side, the message is clear: Kuminga won’t be moved for “spare parts,” which limits pathways to a deal.
For now, it reads as interest without a matching level of commitment.
