It\u2019s no secret that Jonathan Kuminga doesn\u2019t feel valued by the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old NBA champion forward would love nothing more than to join a franchise willing to remove the training wheels from the get-go.<\/p>\n

However, it appears that Kuminga will be forced to spend the first portion of the 2025-26 with the Dubs, considering the franchise has struggled to craft the perfect sign-and-trade headlined by Kuminga.<\/p>\n

With training camp right around the corner, what are the two contract options on the table for the former lottery pick? NBC Sports\u2019 Dalton Johnson broke it all down in a recent article.<\/p>\n

\u201cNBA training camp is in four weeks, and the Oct. 1 deadline for Kuminga to accept the qualifying offer is under a month away,\u201d Johnson wrote Tuesday. \u201cSo, where are the two sides? Still miles apart, it appears.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer remains the most attractive offer to Kuminga at the moment, sources continue to tell NBC Sports Bay Area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Warriors have offered a two-year contract worth roughly $45 million, but are holding strong to a team option for the second year, while Kuminga and his camp have made it clear they want a player option for Year 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYear 1 of the Warriors\u2019 offer is $21.75 million, per sources, but because of the base salary compensation rule, Kuminga\u2019s outgoing salary is equal to half of that. So, much of this entire situation comes down to control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuminga must increase his trade value if he wants to garner significant interest from teams during the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n

Assuming Kuminga signs a new deal with Golden State before the start of his fifth NBA season, the 15.3 points per game scorer would be wise to start fast in Year 5.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Kuminga has the luxury of picking up where he left off, as the 6-foot-7 forward played exceptionally well against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2025 Western Conference Semifinals.<\/p>\n

Kuminga averaged 20.8 points on 54.3% field goal shooting and 42.1% three-point shooting in five games against Minnesota.<\/p>\n

While the Timberwolves made quick work of the Dubs, Kuminga showed he could respond positively to his late-season benching by showing up when the organization needed him most (Stephen Curry was unable to suit up for most of the series due to a calf strain injury).<\/p>\n

The Goma, DR Congo native should feel motivated to play his way out of the Bay as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
