They also have more rules flexibility. I think Kuminga + Warriors 1st for Gafford would happen now, if Butler didn´t tear his ACL.
Kuminga for Klay might still happen as the Warriors last minute Kuminga exit moment, just for the feel good vibes factor.
IF Klay even wants to return. Maybe Klay is happy in Dallas and where he is in his personal life. Going back to the Warriors would increase the pressure and exposure tenfold on and off the court. I don´t get the sense that Klay wants to desperately move away from Dallas or back to the Bay.
