Warriors Hesitant to Offer Max Extension to Jonathan Kuminga

Golden State is cautious about committing a max contract to the young forward, citing his limited track record and the need for roster flexibility.

Jonathan Kuminga is entering the final year of his rookie deal and seeks a max extension from the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are not prepared to offer Kuminga a max extension, similar to the five-year, $224-million deal Franz Wagner received from the Orlando Magic.
Golden State's decision is influenced by their past experience with Jordan Poole's contract and the new CBA restrictions on roster building.
The team values maintaining transactional flexibility for potential trades, which could be hindered by a large contract for Kuminga.
Kuminga had a breakout season last year, but the Warriors are leveraging his restricted free agency status to be patient with contract negotiations.
