Overview

• Golden State’s latest proposal is three years, $75.2 million with a team option in Year 3, alongside alternatives of two years, $45 million with a team option or three years, $54 million fully guaranteed.
• Aaron Turner says Kuminga will sign if the team option becomes a player option; otherwise he is prepared to take the $7.9 million qualifying offer, which carries an inherent no-trade clause and sets up unrestricted free agency in 2026, with an Oct. 1 deadline to decide.
• The impasse has frozen roster building, with ESPN reporting the Warriors have only nine players and intend to finalize veteran deals for Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II once Kuminga’s situation is resolved.
• Jimmy Butler asked team leadership about the plan, and both he and Draymond Green have checked in with Kuminga, according to NBC Sports Bay Area and ESPN.
• Sacramento and Phoenix pursued sign-and-trade scenarios — including a Kings framework built around Malik Monk and a future first — but Golden State declined; ESPN reports outside interest and offer ranges from those teams have informed Kuminga’s view of his market.
