While the restricted free agency market appears to be quite difficult for Kuminga to break out of, Slater does mention that he isn’t alone in that struggle. Other restricted free agents such as Josh Giddey, Quentin Grimes, and Cam Thomas are also yet to find agreements with teams.

Slater reported on Thursday night that the Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat all have interest in the young player. Slater suggested the Kings' interest as more advanced, with the other five teams as varying levels of intrigued in engaging in a trade.
