Overview

• Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $48.5 million contract that includes a second-year team option structured to allow a new deal next summer, according to ESPN.
• As part of the agreement he waived his inherent no-trade clause and will be trade-eligible in mid-January, with both sides expecting to explore options then, per reporting.
• The deal ends his holdout that stretched through media day and the first practice, clearing a return to team activities this week.
• Kuminga’s salary becomes the Warriors’ fourth-highest and pushes projected luxury-tax penalties by roughly $70 million to more than $80 million, with the team operating near the second-apron hard cap.
• The resolution unlocks the path to finalize moves long tied to the cap math, including Al Horford via the taxpayer midlevel exception and De’Anthony Melton, while a 15th roster spot is expected to open for signing in mid-November under cap constraints.
