As the Golden State Warriors have attempted to navigate this offseason, the unavoidable storyline has been their ongoing negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, and, as the season creeps closer and closer, no resolution has been found yet.
Now, however, Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, has publicly dispelled the rumor that Kuminga rejected a long-term contract with the organization last offseason, showcasing the young forward's singular desire: a larger role on the team.
This, unambiguously, will be a difficult if not impossible thing for the Warriors to grant Kuminga given the current construction of their roster, and, if the issue is not the money they are offering, the organization could be in major trouble in attempting to close this deal.
