Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors and Jimmy Butler III #10 of the Golden State Warriors look on against the Los Angeles Lakers during the second half of a game at Crypto.com Arena on April 03, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Overview

  • Agent Aaron Turner says Kuminga would agree if the Warriors convert the final-year team option into a player option, calling it “super important.”
  • ESPN reporting cited by multiple outlets details offers including a three-year, $75.2 million deal with a third-year team option, a two-year $45 million deal with a second-year team option, and a three-year $54 million fully guaranteed contract.
  • The Warriors have resisted including a player option so far, even after raising their proposals as the Sept. 29 start of training camp approaches.
  • Kuminga can sign a one-year $7.9 million qualifying offer by Oct. 1, which would make him hard to trade in-season and set up unrestricted free agency in 2026.
  • Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green have urged the front office to keep Kuminga, while rival interest persists from teams such as the Kings and Suns, and the Heat previously asked for him in the Butler trade.
