Overview

• Golden State has held firm on a two-year extension valued at about $40–45 million with a team option in Year 2 and a requested waiver of Kuminga’s no-trade clause.
• Kuminga’s camp has rejected the short-term structure and he has shared intense solo workout posts while signaling a preference to test unrestricted free agency in 2026.
• The Sacramento Kings are the only team to submit a concrete sign-and-trade proposal but their offer fell short of the Warriors’ valuation for Kuminga.
• Operational consequences of the impasse include the departure of Kent Lacob from the front office and paused negotiations with free agents such as Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II.
• Stephen Curry has downplayed the lack of offseason moves and stressed that roster clarity is needed before the season begins.
