As the Golden State Warriors have trudged through this offseason, their single biggest question mark has continually resided in the ongoing restricted free agency of young forward Jonathan Kuminga, and essentially the entirety of their offseason has revolved around their inability to either trade or retain him.
Now, however, as Kuminga appears set to return to the Warriors in the coming days, Howard Beck, on the most recent episode of The Ringer NBA Show, has made the point that the team's ability to contend this season comes down to their ability to either allow Kuminga to play a bigger role or retrieve sufficient value for him in a trade: a terrifying proposition that has no clear answer at this point.
