Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the agreement at two years and $48.5 million with a team option designed to allow a renegotiation next summer.
- Kuminga chose this format over a reported three-year, $75 million offer after considering the $7.9 million qualifying offer earlier in the week.
- His signing cleared the path for Golden State to finalize veteran additions Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Seth Curry and to proceed with a full training camp.
- Kuminga is expected to be trade‑eligible on Jan. 15 at a $24.25 million outgoing salary, and multiple reports say both sides anticipate exploring options then.
- Team leaders and coach Steve Kerr publicly downplayed the disruption, while ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported the Warriors anticipate Melton missing the early portion of the regular season as he completes ACL rehab.
