When last season came to an end, it seemed that only two players were untouchable in trades for the Golden State Warriors: Stephen Curry and Jonathan Kuminga.
But have they changed their stance on Kuminga?
According to Michael Scotto, via NBACentral, the Warriors would only consider trading Kuminga if they got an All-NBA player in return.
The Warriors might be having a very busy offseason and Kuminga could be at the center of it all.

Scotto noted that there are other issues to handle for Golden State, such as dealing with Klay Thompson’s free agency.
He also said they are hoping to sign Kuminga to a new deal but will send him away if they get an All-NBA player in return.
Kuminga just had the best season of his career.
After a somewhat lackluster start, Kuminga worked things out with head coach Steve Kerr and averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.
He became an important part of the team’s lineup and even though they didn’t reach the playoffs, Kuminga still impressed many Warriors fans.
It seemed like the Warriors were going to fiercely hold onto Kuminga but now this report says they could change their tune if the right deal comes before them.
What All-NBA star would they land in return for Kuminga?
There are a few they could pursue but they are only going to agree to a deal they are very happy with.
The Warriors want to have a good season, especially after the last one ended so miserably.
They only have so much time before Curry and Draymond Green retire and they want to make the most of it.
Does that mean they have to part ways with a rising star like Kuminga?
