Overview

• Jonathan Kuminga rejected the Warriors’ two-year, $45 million qualifying offer and is seeking a deal near $30 million per season.
• The franchise delayed all free-agent negotiations by extending a one-year qualifying offer to maintain matching rights and salary-cap flexibility.
• Front-office discussions include a mock three-team sign-and-trade proposal sending Kuminga and Moses Moody to Chicago for Josh Giddey, Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu and a 2028 first-round pick.
• Salary-cap and luxury tax constraints could force the Warriors to move other young assets such as Moses Moody or Buddy Hield to facilitate any significant sign-and-trade.
• The Warriors are tracking veteran guards Malcolm Brogdon and Seth Curry and have been linked in reports to potential interest in Ben Simmons for backcourt depth.
