As the Golden State Warriors have navigated this offseason, their defining narrative has been their inability to negotiate a contract extension with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga: a conundrum that has held them entirely inactive as we approach training camp.
However, as much as the front office and their general indecision on Kuminga's value can be blamed for their current predicament, the Warriors as an organization have also made several stellar decisions in recent years, and among the forefront of them is the team-friendly extension they signed Moses Moody to last offseason.
Now, as similar free agents such as Nikola Jovic of the Miami Heat approach the end of their rookie contracts, rival organizations will be attempting to achieve exactly what Golden State did in extending Moody.
