Overview

  • The Warriors officially tendered a one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer to Jonathan Kuminga on June 28, triggering his entry into restricted free agency.
  • As a restricted free agent, Kuminga can sign offer sheets with other teams, giving Golden State the option to match any deal or explore sign-and-trade alternatives.
  • With roughly $139 million already committed to Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green, the Warriors face tight salary cap and luxury tax limits.
  • The Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, and Sacramento Kings have emerged as potential trade partners interested in acquiring Kuminga’s high-upside athleticism.
  • Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. has identified resolving Kuminga’s status as a top priority to shape the team’s broader offseason roster strategy.
