I think his inclusion beats any of the offers out there. There is a chance Jarace Walker could be comparable but Kuminga is a little more well known. What would the offer look like? I guess Kuminga and Paul. With the rest of the negotiation filling what else is included.
GS seems dead now, I sort of like them if they added Siakam and can get a sane Green. I do wonder if they look back in 2 years though and regret trading Kuminga though. Siakam is a move to try to make GS relevant in the last few Curry all pro years.
GS is an interesting test of the impact of the new CBA rules, and how teams are reacting to the new financial constraints.
GS's obvious trade offer for PS would be just what you said, Kuminga + CP3 (maybe also a pick)
However, GS reportedly is committed to getting below the 2nd apron next season. Their obvious (and perhaps only) route is for them to let the CP3 contract expire, which lops about 30M off their payroll when it happens.
However, if they include CP3 in a package for Siakam, with the obvious intent to re-sign him, then they lose that $30M reduction in the summer. The alternative would be for GS to include Wiggins instead of CP3 (alongside Kuminga), but I wouldn't see that being desirable for TOR.
In light of that, I'm not convinced GS can get PS.
