Warriors Trade Talk: Pascal Siakam Favored Over Jonathan Kuminga Despite Career High Performance

The Golden State Warriors took on the Milwaukee Bucks amid their poor run and took home yet another loss. Despite the loss, the team displayed promising signs in their roster. Especially with rookie Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga, who stepped up in the absence of Stephen Curry. However, fans engage in debate on trading the 21-year-old for Pascal Siakam, despite his career-high performance tonight.

The Toronto Raptors star Siakam has been in trade talks for quite some time now. And the conversations get heated up, as the NBA world approaches the trade deadline in a month. As per NBA insiders like Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors are one of the hot prospects to pull the 29-year-old star into the side.

Amid Jonathan Kuminga’s career-high game, fans debate Pascal Siakam trade

Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench in tonight’s game against the Bucks and registered his career-high score of 28 points. Despite that, the Warriors couldn’t help themselves to a win as they succumbed to a 129-118 loss.

In the meantime, JK’s possible trade to rope in Pascal Siakam opened up. The Raptors star, who is approaching the end of his contract with this team, would look to sign only a max contract and the Dubs have to pay a heavy price for it. By heavy price, it means the Dubs have to lose some of the key players to expand their cap space.

Amid these testing times, one of the fans called for a trade involving Jonathan Kuminga and the Raptors forward.

In response to the fans’ take, loyal Dubs fans barged in with counterarguments. Here are some reactions from fans.

The majority of the Dub Nation stand against the idea of trading the budding superstar and risking the future of the Warriors.

Moreover, it isn’t just the Warriors who are looking to seal the deal with Siakam. And at the same time, the Raptors forward has more voice in deciding his trade, reported Wojnarowski.
