It's nearing the end of August, and the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga have yet to reach a resolution. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on Friday that the Warriors are "discouraging" sign-and-trade proposals (subscription required) because none of them have met Golden State's standards.
Fischer added that Kuminga's "only recourse at this stage might be accepting his one-year, $8 million qualifying offer which expires Oct. 1." The insider also reported that Kuminga isn't interested in taking the Warriors' two-year, $45 million offer because because of the belief that they'd sign him to trade him before the February deadline.
