The Miami Heat have legitimate interest in signing Jonathan Kuminga this offseason, sources tell The Athletic. The Heat missed out on trading for Kevin Durant last week. The Brooklyn Nets have used some of their cap space already, but they could enter the picture on Kuminga.
The Golden State Warriors remain interested in giving Kuminga another opportunity to establish himself with the team and are reluctant to lose him without compensation.
“I trust my people, trust my agent (Aaron Turner),” Kuminga said. “I want to know more about how this trade stuff goes, how this sign-and-trade goes or how this contract goes. I want to learn more about it. But most of the time I just focus on playing, just working. The better I get, wherever I get my chance, it’s going to show.
“Wherever I go, wherever I’ll be, off the rip, I just want them to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, he deserved what he got. He deserved to be here. He worked hard for it.’ Wherever it is, that’s what I want it to feel like. I want to be great. I feel like I’m capable of being that, capable of doing some special things and I won’t just let it go like that. The only way to get there is just to lock in every single day.”
