The Golden State Warriors only have nine players under contract just days before training camp kicks off because they need cap flexibility to negotiate with Jonathan Kuminga. Media day is on Sept. 29, and the Dubs won’t have a full roster unless this standoff ends. Golden State desperately needs Kuminga to stay. He is their path to title contention, but only if he signs to a multi-year tradable contract.
The Warriors are rumored to have deals done (subscription required) with Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Seth Curry, but none of those players can sign until they know what is happening with Kuminga.
