Overview

• Agent Aaron Turner said Kuminga will sign the qualifying offer unless the Warriors convert the final-year team option on their latest proposal into a player option.
• The reported offers rejected by Kuminga include three years at roughly $72–75 million with a Year 3 team option, two years at $45 million with a team option, and three years at $54 million without options.
• Accepting the qualifying offer would keep Kuminga in Golden State for 2025-26 with de facto no‑trade protection and position him for unrestricted free agency in 2026.
• Sacramento and Phoenix explored sign‑and‑trade scenarios with player options and larger roles; Golden State declined frameworks including Malik Monk plus a protected 2030 first from the Kings, and a trade is viewed as unlikely without changed terms.
• The stalemate has left the Warriors with a thin roster and stalled offseason moves as training camp nears, even as Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler push for a resolution.
