US EditionKuminga Reaches 2-Year Deal with Warriors, Ending Contract Stalemate, AP Source Says
Kuminga waived his no-trade clause and chose a two-year, $48.5 million deal to gain control of his future and become a potential trade asset during the season.
- On Tuesday, Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $48.5 million contract to return to the Golden State Warriors, ESPN's Shams Charania reported.
- After months of bargaining, the stalemate left Kuminga a restricted free agent with a qualifying offer of $7.9 million since June 29, while his agent Aaron Turner pushed for a player option denied by the Warriors.
- Golden State sweetened its two-year proposal by $8MM, guaranteeing Kuminga $15 million more than the $8 million qualifying offer, and he waived his no-trade clause; the deal includes a 15% trade kicker.
- Clearing Kuminga's contract lets Golden State sign veterans like Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton, and Seth Curry, while his salary raises the luxury-tax penalty by $70 million to over $80 million.
- Choosing the two-year structure positions Kuminga to retain control over his near-term future, and both sides now acknowledge he could be moved around January 15, incentivizing a strong, controversy-free season.
