As the 2025 NBA offseason continues with numerous key free agent moves across the league, the Golden State Warriors have decisively ended all sign-and-trade negotiations involving Jonathan Kuminga. This move comes despite Phoenix Suns presenting a lucrative offer nearly double that of the Warriors, reportedly a $90 million, four-year deal. The shutdown of trade talks occurred alongside interest from the Sacramento Kings, who have kept certain players, including Keon Ellis, off-limits in any potential deal.
The Warriors’ leadership, including Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office, have expressed a firm commitment to retaining Kuminga, making it clear they will not be pressured into any trade arrangement that does not meet their expectations. League sources confirmed that all discussions with the Kings and Suns have been terminated, reinforcing the organization’s intent to keep Kuminga on the roster heading into the 2025-26 NBA season.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the Warriors’ front office have made it clear that they will not be bullied into accepting a sign-and-trade offer they don’t like, and they believe Kuminga will be on their roster by the time the 2025-26 season begins.

No Interest in Dillon Brooks from Warriors in Kuminga-Related Trade Talks
Earlier in July 2025, the Phoenix Suns secured Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green during a complex seven-team trade that also involved Kevin Durant moving to the Houston Rockets. Rumors circulated regarding the Warriors’ potential interest in Brooks as part of a possible deal involving Kuminga. However, these reports were dispelled as the Warriors have shown no interest in pursuing Dillon Brooks through any trade negotiations linked to Kuminga.
The Suns have not proposed including Brooks in any talks, nor do the Warriors wish to acquire him, according to league insiders. This clarification removes any speculation about Brooks being part of a trade package that could have reshaped the rosters of both teams.
Phoenix has not offered, and will not involve, newly acquired wing Dillon Brooks in trade conversations this offseason, nor would the Warriors hold interest in him, sources said.
