As the Golden State Warriors approach training camp, their lack of a resolution to Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency and, by extension, their lack of activity on the free agent market remain highly concerning.
Now, Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, has publicly said on The Hoop Collective podcast that the qualifying offer is still an option that is on the table if the Warriors' offer does not improve, which would result in Golden State losing Kuminga next offseason in unrestricted free agency.
While this is a threat that Kuminga has maintained all offseason, one that has seemed to this point largely like a bluff, the fact that Kuminga's agent is willing to threaten it this late in negotiations is seriously troubling, and, now, the Warriors may have their hands completely tied.
