Overview

• Renewed negotiations have produced no progress, and multiple outlets report that Kuminga is trending toward accepting the $7.9 million qualifying offer.
• The Warriors have maintained their two-year, $40–45 million extension proposal, which includes a second-year team option and requires Kuminga to waive his no-trade clause.
• Kuminga’s camp insists on a more secure, multi-year deal or else will preserve his no-trade protection and free-agent status by taking the qualifying offer.
• Sacramento, Phoenix and Milwaukee have explored sign-and-trade packages, but Golden State has rejected offers that fall short of its demand for starter-level talent and first-round capital.
• The standoff has effectively frozen the Warriors’ offseason plans, delaying veteran additions and complicating salary-cap management as training camp approaches.
