"He Said that to Me": Warriors' $100,000,000 Star Reveals Jonathan Kuminga's True Feelings About Returning
The contract deadlock delays Warriors' roster moves and first practice with Kuminga rejecting team options and seeking a player option, risking a $15.3 million loss, sources say.
- Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent, skipped media day on Monday and did not travel to San Francisco as contract talks remain unresolved before Wednesday night's qualifying offer deadline.
- Amid stalled talks, the impasse centers on contract structure as Kuminga's camp seeks a player option after `years of confusion`, while the Golden State Warriors refuse and expect a decision by Wednesday night.
- Kuminga's key leverage is the one-year, $8 million qualifying offer that expires Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET, while two top proposals include team options and the lone three-year, $54 million offer does not.
- The front office has paused further additions pending Kuminga's decision, delaying Al Horford's contract finalization and leaving Gary Payton II and De'Anthony Melton's practice availability uncertain.
- With the QO looming, Jonathan Kuminga would give up $15.3 million to gain an inherent no-trade clause and 2026 unrestricted free agency, while sign-and-trade talks with Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings have stalled.
