    Golden State are open to trading Jonathan Kuminga but only for draft picks and young talent, a deal no team has offered. Sacramento and Phoenix showed interest, yet no agreement materialized. The 22-year-old now faces tough contract decisions. Kuminga must either sign a two-year, $45m deal with a team option or accept a one-year, $7.9m qualifying offer. The latter allows free agency in 2026 but limits trade options. The Warriors remain firm as training camp nears.

    Jonathan Kuminga and Golden State remain locked in contract talks, with no breakthrough after weeks of stalemate.

    Cam Thomas accepted Brooklyn’s one-year, $6m qualifying offer, rejecting bigger multi-year deals to become unrestricted in 2026. His decision could shape Jonathan Kuminga’s contract saga, as both young players weigh short-term pay against long-term leverage. Thomas declined a two-year $30m contract with a team option and another one-year $9.5m deal with incentives. His self-bet sets precedent for Kuminga, who is considering rejecting Golden State’s $45m offer to follow a similar path into free agency.
