When it comes to Jonathan Kuminga, the Golden State Warriors have no leverage beyond restricted free agency rights. It's the unfortunate truth facing a Warriors side that seems destined to part ways with Kuminga, whether in 2025 or at some point in 2026.
The goal is still to maximize the return on the investment in Kuminga, but one Sacramento Kings analyst addressed the simple fact that Golden State has an uphill battle ahead of it.
Kuminga recently declined a two-year, $45 million offer from the Warriors that included a team option for the second season. In the same report, it was revealed that the Kings and Phoenix Suns are willing to offer Kuminga contracts in the range of four years and $90 million—but Golden State isn't exactly jumping at their current sign-and-trade proposals.
