The Warriors and Kuminga are far apart in negotiations less than a week before the deadline, per sources
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga looks on during the first half of a preseason NBA basketball game against the Detroit Pistons, Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, in San Francisco. Less than a week before the rookie contract extension deadline, Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors aren’t close to striking a deal, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Still, there isn’t a substantial offer on the table for Kuminga at this point, sources told this news organization. Dunleavy has embraced operating rationally and not panicking. Draymond Green praised him specifically for that trait at media day. What rationality means for Kuminga’s case, though, is the pursuit of a deal that makes sense for both sides — and what makes sense for Kuminga isn’t necessarily the same as what makes sense for the Warriors.
Despite playing the 14th-most minutes in the 2021 draft class, Kuminga’s 10.1 win shares rank seventh. Last season, Kuminga made a significant leap, increasing his scoring average from 9.9 to 16.1 points per game. He’s already a tremendous threat in transition and as a downhill scorer;Yet because of the situation Kuminga joined, he hasn’t had the same type of role or usage as players like Cunningham, Mobley, Barnes or Wagner.
