What’s Next for the Warriors as Kuminga Standoff Stretches Past 3 Weeks
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – Negotiations for Jonathan Kuminga's sign-and-trade stall due to a $10 million contract gap, complicating the Warriors' roster plans and the Bulls' financial flexibility this offseason.
- The Golden State Warriors have struggled for over three weeks to resolve restricted free agency for forward Jonathan Kuminga.
- Kuminga's camp demands a $30 million-plus contract and refuses to return, while the Warriors seek a smaller $20 million deal to move him due to a dry market.

- The Warriors want a deal around $20 million to flip Kuminga but face cap space limits since few NBA teams can absorb his salary demands.
- This impasse risks Golden State falling behind rising conference rivals, suggesting they must resolve Kuminga's contract before adding essential depth.

Bulls Have Fewer Trade Assets Than Expected due to Technicality
At the start of the offseason, the Chicago Bulls completed an unexpected trade. They moved veteran guard Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers, just as the extension they had given him as recently as February was beginning, in exchange for Isaac Okoro. A recent report indicates that doing the Ball/Okoro deal as early as they did may have cost the Bulls a chance at Golden State Warriors free agent forward, Jonathan Kuminga. Certainly, there seems…
