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.

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.
