Kuminga Standoff Freezes Warriors’ Roster Moves as Oct. 1 Deadline Nears

Disagreement over team control in a reported three-year, $75.2 million offer has stalled talks.

Overview

  • League reporting points to Golden State adding Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, Seth Curry and second-round pick Will Richard once Jonathan Kuminga’s status is settled.
  • Kuminga has until Oct. 1 to accept a one-year qualifying offer of about $7.9–8.0 million or agree to a multiyear deal, with ESPN noting the sticking point is a team option in Year 3 versus a player option.
  • The Warriors have only nine to ten players under contract and have paused signings to maintain cap flexibility pending the Kuminga outcome.
  • Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green are organizing a player-run mini-camp this week ahead of training camp opening on Sept. 30.
  • ESPN reporting says team officials remain concerned about Kuminga’s fit with a healthy core, while multiple outlets cite a strong expectation that Seth Curry will join as a shooting addition once the impasse ends.
