Warriors avoided a pair of disastrous contract mistakes with Kuminga decision

As the Golden State Warriors have decided that they will likely re-sign Jonathan Kuminga, effectively eliminating the possibility of any sign-and-trade this offseason, it is certainly possible that this could be seen as a mistake in hindsight.

Yet, the Warriors also avoided a pair of mistakes in retaining Kuminga by not taking on future problems from potential suitors: Keegan Murray of the Sacramento Kings and Mark Williams of the Phoenix Suns.

Although neither player was concretely reported to be involved in such talks, both were rumored as potential targets in a possible sign-and-trade, and, with both players being extension-eligible in the near future, Golden State avoided a move that would hamstring their flexibility past their two-year championship window.
