The Golden State Warriors are trying to use the concept of restricted free agency to maximum capacity this offseason, intent on retaining Jonathan Kuminga despite his desire to leave for a pacific rival in the Sacramento Kings or Phoenix Suns.
The way in which the Warriors have handled this increasingly disastrous Kuminga situation makes for an intriguing watch on how they do so in the future. Fans won't have to wait long to see how the franchise approaches contract negotiations on another young player, with Brandin Podziemski set to become extension-eligible next offseason.
