As the Golden State Warriors and restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga have sat at an impasse this offseason, the young forward has been hesitant to accept the organization's two-year, $45 million offer for a number of reasons.
Yet, according to Tim Bontemps on a recent episode of The Hoop Collective, Kuminga's sole recourse, which involves him taking the qualifying offer and entering unrestricted free agency next offseason, would make it almost impossible for him to recoup the funds he misses out on initially.
Although there has been well-document strife between Kuminga and the organization throughout this contractual saga, it could ultimately be in his best interest to take the short-term deal they have offered.
