Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors: A Contractual Stagnation<\/h2>\n\nJonathan Kuminga’s future with the Golden State Warriors hangs in the balance. His agent, Aaron Turner, has revealed that the player is willing to accept the $8 million qualifying offer if the team’s current proposal is not improved.\n\n\n

There’s a lot of potential. He wants to choose where he wants to go. So the qualifying offer is real, for sure.<\/p>\nAaron Turner, Jonathan Kuminga’s agent<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Warriors have presented Kuminga, 22, with three different offers. The most lucrative is for three years and $75.2 million, with a team option for the third season, guaranteeing Kuminga $48.3 million in the first two years. He has also been offered a two-year contract for $45 million, with a team option in the second year, and another for three years and $54 million without options. Kuminga has rejected all offers so far, requesting that the team option be converted into a player option, which he would be willing to sign.\n\n\n

If the Warriors want to win now, if they want a happy and fairly treated player who is an important part of this team, we believe they should give the player the option.<\/p>\nAaron Turner, Jonathan Kuminga’s agent<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIf he signs the qualifying offer, Kuminga would forgo more than $40 million guaranteed over the next two seasons, but would obtain unrestricted free agency next summer and an inherent no-trade clause.\n\nKuminga has been exploring the market, including opinions from outside the Warriors organization. The Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns have shown a more aggressive interest, but they have not managed to present trade offers that convince the Warriors to let Kuminga go.\n\nWarriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. mentioned the team was in a “good position” with Kuminga, but this hasn’t translated into a deal. Warriors owner Joe Lacob traveled to Miami to meet with Kuminga in August, but the contract dispute continues.\n\nThe key for Kuminga is the player option in the two or three-year offers. They would be willing to sign the two-year contract in the $45 million range if he is allowed to keep the no-trade clause, allowing him to influence where he will play. However, the Warriors have not conceded on that, requesting that Kuminga waive the no-trade clause.\n\nTurner has stated that Kuminga would be willing to accept a team option deal if the Warriors increase the annual figure to around $30 million or if they accept the current deals with the player option. Otherwise, they threaten to accept the qualifying offer, which would decrease his trade value.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
