Overview

• Kuminga’s camp is pushing for a four-year contract worth $25–30 million per season, while the Warriors’ best offer tops out at two years for $40 million.
• Golden State has frozen its free-agency pursuits as its payroll approaches luxury-tax aprons and hard-cap restrictions.
• The Warriors have made a first-round pick, a young player and no unwanted contracts non-negotiable in any sign-and-trade agreement.
• The Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings remain the most aggressive suitors but lack the draft capital to satisfy Golden State’s return demands.
• Kuminga holds leverage with the $7.9 million qualifying offer, which would grant him trade veto power and unrestricted free-agency status next summer.
