The Golden State Warriors just dropped a trade bombshell that has the entire NBA choking on their Gatorade.
Sources close to the league told TMZ Sports that the Dubs are setting an absolutely insane asking price for 21-year-old forward Jonathan Kuminga — and it’s not just picks and players they’re after.
“They’re asking for an All-NBA star, three future first-rounders, and — wait for it — a freakin’ building in downtown Manhattan,” one rival executive told us while laughing nervously.
That’s right. The Warriors, known for thinking several steps ahead, have apparently gone full Monopoly board with their demands — possibly hoping to acquire real estate while reshaping their future.
Jonathan Kuminga balled out, despite the loss:

🏀 League Reaction?
Executives across the NBA are reportedly stunned, with some straight-up walking out of trade talks once they heard the outrageous price tag.
“You’d think they’re trading Steph in his prime or prime MJ,” one Eastern Conference scout texted us. “Not Kuminga… come on.”
💡 Why So Pricey?
Insiders believe Golden State views Kuminga as a “franchise cornerstone” in the making — his size, athleticism, and flashes of brilliance have them convinced he’s one breakout season away from superstardom.
“Steve Kerr doesn’t want to lose him,” one team source says. “Unless the return is Giannis… or Jesus.”
🔥 TMZ Take:
Golden State may love Kuminga, but this ain’t NBA2K. If they’re holding out for the second coming of LeBron + a Midtown skyscraper, they better get used to keeping him. 😅
So unless some team’s GM has gone full billionaire mode, don’t expect Kuminga to be packing his bags anytime soon.
Stay tuned — this drama’s just getting started. 👀💼📞
