Overview

  • Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga has declined a two-year, $45 million offer that lacks a player option for its second year.
  • Luxury-tax apron and base-year compensation rules have blocked sign-and-trade options with the Suns, Kings and Bulls.
  • Golden State will keep Kuminga on its roster into the season unless he signs the current offer or accepts the qualifying offer.
  • Veteran targets such as Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Malcolm Brogdon, Seth Curry and Javonte Green remain unsigned pending a contract resolution.
  • A proposed swap for Bulls guard Josh Giddey remains under consideration and is hindered by the same cap constraints blocking other offseason transactions.
