Overview

  • General Manager Mike Dunleavy said resolving Kuminga’s status is a main priority and he wants to figure it out as soon as possible
  • As a restricted free agent, Kuminga can sign offer sheets elsewhere but Golden State retains matching rights while weighing an extension or trade
  • League sources report the Warriors have internally discussed sign-and-trade packages that could include Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski to maximize return
  • Despite averaging 15.3 points in playoff games without Stephen Curry, Kuminga has struggled to secure consistent minutes in Steve Kerr’s rotation
  • Heavy salary cap and luxury tax commitments to Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green limit the Warriors’ flexibility in adding significant salary
