Overview

  • Golden State extended a $7.9 million qualifying offer to Jonathan Kuminga and retains full matching rights as a restricted free agent.
  • Trade discussions have produced “no significant traction,” with teams unable to meet the Warriors’ high return demands.
  • Sacramento’s proposal of Devin Carter, Dario Šarić and two second-round picks was dismissed as an insufficient, buy-low offer.
  • The franchise is holding out for at least one promising young player plus a first-round draft pick in any sign-and-trade for the 22-year-old forward.
  • While Kuminga’s future remains unresolved, the Warriors are pursuing veteran guard De’Anthony Melton to bolster backcourt depth under tight cap constraints.
