Jonathan Kuminga’s contract negotiations with the Warriors remain stalled, with the forward reportedly having “zero interest” in staying. The Sacramento Kings are circling, having already tested Golden State with trade offers earlier in the offseason. Kuminga’s camp proposed a three-year, $63m player-option deal, but the Warriors countered with a three-year, $75m team-option contract, which was rejected. With the October 1 deadline looming for restricted free agents, his future remains unresolved amid rising tensions.

Golden State Warriors are expected to sign veteran big man Al Horford once Jonathan Kuminga’s contract saga is resolved. With just nine players under contract, Horford’s leadership and versatility could address their long-running search for stability at center. Horford, 39, started 42 games for Boston last season, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 36% from three. Forbes reports he would likely start immediately. Despite age concerns, his durability and defense make him a prime fit alongside Curry, Butler, and Green.

The Golden State Warriors remain locked in negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, with no agreement reached despite a $45 million two-year offer. Phoenix Suns attempted a sign-and-trade, while offering Kuminga an $80–88 million deal to replace Kevin Durant’s role. Warriors rejected Phoenix’s package, insisting Kuminga will have a significant role under Steve Kerr this season. Despite past criticisms of fit, both sides now downplay tensions. The standoff leaves Kuminga’s future uncertain as his camp pushes for security, including a no-trade clause.

With just nine players under contract and Jonathan Kuminga’s deal unresolved, Golden State are eyeing a reunion with Kelly Oubre Jr. Reports suggest Philadelphia are open to moving him, and the Warriors may use their trade exception to bring him back. Oubre averaged 15.3 points with the 76ers last season and remains a downhill threat. Though his efficiency has been questioned, his scoring could bolster the Warriors’ bench. Familiarity from his 2020-21 stint makes him a natural fit as Golden State weigh roster options

Training camp looms with no resolution in sight. Kuminga reportedly wants clarity on his role, wary of being used as a “pawn” after four inconsistent years.

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.

The Warriors want to avoid Kuminga signing the qualifying offer, which blocks potential trade flexibility. Training camp looms in four weeks, and the Oct 1 deadline for his decision heightens tension. Both sides remain firm, waiting for the other to give in.

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.

Golden State Warriors, with only nine contracted players, are linked with free agent Malcolm Brogdon, though insiders predict he may join the Timberwolves instead. Golden State’s inactivity stems from ongoing Jonathan Kuminga issues. Brogdon, recovering from injuries, averaged 12.7 points for Washington last season.
