Overview

• Kuminga and his representatives met with Golden State during Las Vegas Summer League but failed to secure an extension agreement
• NBA sign-and-trade rules count only 50% of outgoing salary for matching purposes, complicating any potential deal for Kuminga
• The Warriors rejected Sacramento’s proposed swap of Devin Carter, Dario Šarić and two second-round picks, instead targeting a young asset plus a first-round pick
• Kuminga is seeking $25–30 million per year and a guaranteed role but head coach Steve Kerr has declined to promise 38 minutes behind Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green
• Golden State is pursuing veterans such as Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton and has shown interest in Bradley Beal to boost spacing and experience
