Jonathan Kuminga was once viewed as one of the key pieces of a puzzle that would extend Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson's careers. His profound upside and immediate production painted the picture of a top-tier scorer in the making, thus giving the Golden State Warriors a chance to alleviate pressure from their superstars as they entered their mid-30s.
Unfortunately, the Kuminga saga has become one of the most most polarizing chapters in recent franchise history, with the latest development revealing yet another element of Golden State's mistakes.
Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of ESPN reported on the morning of July 30 that Kuminga had declined a two-year, $45 million offer from the Warriors.
