Insider Reveals Warriors’ Best Offer To Jonathan Kuminga Was A 2-Year, $40 Million Deal

Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors have not been able to see eye to eye this offseason, as a recent report of the organization's best offer for the young guard showcases the differences in perspectives.

The Golden State Warriors‘ offseason has been clouded by unresolved negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. As talks have failed to produce a resolution, NBA insider Marc Stein revealed the Warriors’ best offer to Kuminga, highlighting the gap between both sides. Stein wrote:

“Word is that the Warriors’ best offers to Kuminga have topped out in the two-year $40 million range. Kuminga’s camp has continued to seek out sign-and-trade opportunities, with Sacramento and Phoenix still regarded as the most determined suitors, but Golden State is said to want a first-round pick in any sign-and-trade deal. The Suns do not have an available first-round pick to offer.”

An offer in the range of two years, $40 million stands out, especially compared to what other restricted free agents have been offered this year. While it may appear generous, it doesn’t align with Kuminga’s long-term aspirations. 

The 22-year-old forward aspires to be a star. It is justifiable to say that he hasn’t proven himself worthy of star treatment in his contract, but the Warriors haven’t consistently provided the minutes needed for him to showcase his potential.

While there have also been claims of Kuminga demanding an annual salary of $30 million, the forward’s agent has come forward to deny ever turning down such an offer.

Reports suggest Kuminga is willing to wait until both sides reach a solution. With a trade being the preferred outcome for him, the Warriors have seen legitimate interest from the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings. 

Both teams have shared their offers for Kuminga. The Kings offered a package centered around Devin Carter and second-round picks. Meanwhile, the Suns offered a deal centered around Grayson Allen and draft compensation. 

Considering that the Warriors’ asking price for Kuminga involves a young player, draft compensation (at least a first-round pick), and no “bad” contracts, neither team has presented a package that aligns with their demands.

The Warriors and Kuminga remain at a stalemate. While the forward appears unfazed, the organizational impact is significant. The longer both parties stall, the worse the situation gets for Golden State, as the contract negotiation process is currently preventing the Warriors from making any further moves.

Having made no significant signings in the offseason, the Dubs have effectively stagnated. When considering the assets that have parted ways with the team this offseason, it would be safe to say that the Warriors’ current approach has also been counterproductive.

The Kuminga situation now appears headed toward a sign-and-trade rather than a long-term extension. Although the packages presented haven’t been viewed favorably, the Dubs may be forced to decide so that they can proceed with completing their pending deals.
