No question that the sign and trade will happen and that the parameters of the needs and a third team have been satisfied or nearly so.



Sign and trade is still certainly possible (and I'd welcome a 3rd team figuring out the right deal), but I don't understand why you're saying no question? The vagueness of all the announced intents -- Horford, GPII, Melton is intentional because the JK deal isn't done, but it doesn't hint what will happen yet with Kuminga. The announcements do hurt JK's negotiating position slightly, as say a month or two ago there was perhaps some anxiety these players could sign elsewhere, and now it's pretty much guaranteed they are going to GSW.

My guess is still that the Warriors sign him and trade him mid-season.

I tend to agree that I don't think they would announce these deals unless they were close to a resolution with JK one way or another. Now, that could be that they're close on a contract, or a S&T, or it could be that MDJ just got fed up and said "here's our best and final offer, sign it or sign the QO and we'll see you at training camp." Neither I nor anyone else here knows which one is true.


Pretty much just waiting for him to sign one of them. I don’t see a trade at this point. Just what will he sign.
