Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors warms up before the playoff game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Chase Center on May 12, 2025, in San Francisco.

Overview

  • Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga is rejecting the Warriors’ contract proposals and exploring sign-and-trade options with Phoenix and Sacramento.
  • Golden State turned down Phoenix’s package centered on Grayson Allen and rebuffed Sacramento’s offer of Devin Carter, Dario Saric and two second-round picks.
  • The Warriors insist on receiving at least a future first-round pick, a promising young player and no undesirable contracts in any deal for Kuminga.
  • Kuminga’s agent Aaron Turner publicly refuted reports that the forward declined a $30 million-per-year offer, calling the narrative “fake news.”
  • All other roster moves, including potential signings of Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton, remain on hold as the team safeguards cap flexibility for possible blockbuster trades.
