Amick: The biggest obstacle to the King of Warriors trade is that Monk s player options are inconsistent with the Warriors plan

According to famous reporter Amick, the Warriors King restarted the transaction negotiations about Kuminga, which had been cooled for more than a month.

But Amick also said that there are still many obstacles in the deal, the most obvious of which is the Warriors' lack of interest in Monk.

"Monk's contract is the main issue because he has a $21.5 million player option in the 2027-28 season, which is inconsistent with the Warriors' future plans to maintain cap space flexibility. At the same time, the Warriors have doubts about whether it fits the team's system. If the Warriors do sign him, they will likely consider trading him to other teams. However, it is not clear whether they will actually do this (signing to Monk)," the reporter wrote.
