The Warriors reportedly offered the No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft a two-year, $45 million contract with a team option for 2026-27, which Kuminga appears unlikely to accept.<\/p>\n<p>Kuminga is believed to be seeking more control over his future than the Warriors&#8217; current offer allows. Instead of committing to the two-year pact with a team option, he could accept his $7.9 million qualifying offer and play out the season with Golden State. While a player option could make the deal more appealing, the Warriors have yet to budge from the team option.<\/p>\n<h2>Jonathan Kuminga unlikely to accept Warriors\u2019 $45 million offer<\/h2>\n<p>Kuminga has been floated as a potential sign-and-trade candidate, but the Warriors are not expected to pursue that path. Instead, the club hopes to sign Kuminga and keep the flexibility to trade him midseason. However, if a new deal isn&#8217;t presented, all signs point toward the 22-year-old accepting his qualifying offer, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless they change their current offer, which the Warriors haven&#8217;t given any indications that they will to this point, Kuminga will ultimately accept his qualifying offer,\u201d Siegel wrote. \u201cThat wouldn&#8217;t be the best scenario for Golden State, as all hopes to flip the young forward into value before the trade deadline would essentially disappear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>NBA writer urges Warriors to pursue Malik Beasley in free agency<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors hold some leverage in talks, as few teams have the cap space to offer Kuminga more money, but the former first-round pick can simply accept his qualifying offer and wait until next offseason to get paid.<\/p>\n<p>If Kuminga accepts his qualifying offer, it would become much more difficult for Golden State to complete a midseason trade. There&#8217;s little reason to trade for a player on an expiring contract midseason, unless a contender believes Kuminga could be the missing piece to a championship run.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-7 forward has showcased his potential despite inconsistent playing time in Golden State. Whether it comes this season or next, he appears likely to seek a new landing spot where he can grow into a top option.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s still no end in sight to Jonathan Kuminga&#8217;s contract standoff with the Warriors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":94689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
