The Golden State Warriors are still dealing with the Jonathan Kuminga situation, but they could finally move their young star to the Orlando Magic in a last-ditch effort.

The Milwaukee Bucks chose not to trade for Jonathan Kuminga because they didn't want to give up a fan-favorite, per reports.

Slater suggested that Jonathan Kuminga is prepared to bet on himself by accepting the Warriors' $7.9M expiring qualifying offer.

In some aspects, that mindset to prioritize internal growth and development as opposed to bringing in free agent veterans can be a positive, but in the eyes of ClutchPoints' Jedd Pagaduan, it may actually end up hurting the Jazz in the long run.

History often repeats in the NBA. Teams usually keep young, talented players on a short leash. That builds frustration, trust fades, and before long, both sides are looking to part ways.
