Overview

  • Kuminga declined Golden State’s two-year, $45 million proposal that included a team option for 2026–27 and required him to waive his implied no-trade clause.
  • His agent has met with the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns to explore four-year, roughly $90 million sign-and-trade packages featuring player options.
  • The Warriors have rebuffed rival trade returns and stuck to a one-plus-one structure to stay below the luxury tax apron and preserve roster flexibility.
  • He is weighing the $7.9 million qualifying offer to secure an automatic no-trade clause and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
  • With no roster additions this summer, the Warriors’ offseason remains stalled as they balance salary cap limits with Kuminga’s demands for long-term security.
