Warriors Currently Unwilling To Offer Jonathan Kuminga Contract Near His MaxWarriors Currently Unwilling To Offer Jonathan Kuminga Contract Near His Max
The Golden State Warriors are not currently prepared to offer Jonathan Kuminga a max contract extension worth $224 million over five years, or any deal that even approaches that figure, sources tell Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
While Kuminga could potentially play himself into that stratosphere, his limited track record and potential fit complications make the Warriors comfortable letting his restricted free agency play out if an extension cannot be reached. Steve Kerr appears to believe Kuminga isn’t a small forward due to spacing passing issues and there is a frontcourt minutes crunch with Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Kuminga could thrive as a smallball power forward.
The two sides have had tentative extension talks, but a clear divide remains on his value. An extension would also make Wiggins more challenging to trade at some point this season due to poison pill restrictions.
Kuminga is represented by agent Aaron Turner.
