The Golden State Warriors have set a push in recent days to retain Jonathan Kuminga, but he continues to reject their two -year contract offer of $ 45 million, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Kuminga’s decision is largely due to the insistence of the Warriors to having a team option for the second season and their unwillingness to have him maintained the built-in no-trade clause.
The Agent of Kuminga, Aaron Turner, presented a frame worth a three -year -old $ 82 million deal with which the Warriors would stay under the second apron and use the exception of the taxpayer Middle Level.
Kuminga and Turner investigated signing and trade options in the free agency. The Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns are the most aggressive with potential four -year -old, $ 90 million deals that have been discussed. The Warriors are not interested in the trade returns of the kings or sunbathing.
The current plan of Golden State is that Kuminga will be in their team next season, either due to their two -year $ 45 million offer or the qualifying range of $ 7.9 million. Kuminga has a deadline of 1 October to sign the qualification. If Kuminga takes on the qualifying offer, he would leave almost $ 14 million extra next season, but he could become an unlimited free agent in 2026.
Kuminga believes that the two-year offer of the Warriors is accepted with a team option, along with the forfeit of trade Veto rights, which is too much control of a franchise that he thinks is impeded.
