Jonathan Kuminga in no hurry to re-sign with Warriors, won't accept Golden State's current deal, per report
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 24 – Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga seeks a guaranteed starting role and better contract terms, causing stalled trade talks despite offers from Sacramento and Phoenix, sources said.
- As of July 24, 2025, restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga has declined the current contract offers presented by the Golden State Warriors.
- The stalemate stems from Kuminga's $25 million annual salary demand and his desire for a starting role, which the Warriors cannot guarantee.
- The Golden State Warriors have received proposals involving sign-and-trade deals from both the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, which include promises of ample playing time and a role as a starter for Kuminga, but the Warriors have declined these offers.
- Despite missing two months due to an ankle injury, Kuminga appeared in 47 games last season and contributed an average of 15.3 points, along with 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
- The ongoing deadlock has frozen the Warriors' offseason moves, making them the only NBA team without signing or trading a player this period, while negotiations continue with no clear resolution.
