The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga are stuck in a holding patten, though there has been some ongoing talks between the two sides according to ESPN’s Anthony Slater on Friday.
The current sticking point is the second year of a $45 million contract offer, with the Warriors wanting to retain their flexibility by having it as a team option while Kuminga wants to take control of his own future by having it as a player option.
The Warriors will have to give Jonathan Kuminga two-year guarantee
Kuminga’s position is understandable -- he doesn’t want to simply be viewed as a pawn for Golden State to trade once eligible mid-season.
