As the Golden State Warriors attempt to find a resolution to their lingering Jonathan Kuminga situation, the two parties have come to an impasse regarding whether a potential short-term, tradeable deal will include a team option or a player option after the first year.
However, according to ESPN Analyst Ramona Shelburne, the Warriors could meet Kuminga in the middle in order to bring the young forward back, adding an extra year onto his contract while maintaining their flexibility through a team option.
While this type of deal would still give Golden State the flexibility to move Kuminga after retaining him, the extra year could make the front office uncomfortable as a result of the additional guaranteed money it would require.
