• [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Jonathan Kuminga would agree to Warriors' contract if change is made, per agent
  It appears there is just one hurdle remaining in the Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga contract saga. Golden State has negotiated with its prized restricted free agent for months, and with Kuminga still unsigned midway through September, the sides could strike a deal if one change is made to the Warriors’ latest offer. ESPN’s Anthony Slater joined “NBA Today” on Tuesday, where he shared what Kuminga’s agent, Aaron Turner, told him about the Warriors’ latest contract offer, which Slater and Shams Charania reported Monday is “I actually talked to Aaron Turner, Jonathan Kuminga’s agent, this morning, and the messaging they’re adopting this week is ‘Turn the [team option] to a [player option’ and it’s done,” Slater said. “And that messaging is generally saying, if it’s a team option on [that deal], if that’s suddenly a player option, not only will Jonathan Kuminga sign it, they’re saying, but he will be completely bought in on the mission they’re asking of him. “Which is, using Turner’s messaging, that is to get Steph Curry and Draymond Green a fifth ring, [and] Jimmy Butler his first ring.” NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson confirmed Kuminga and Turner’s willingness to take the Warriors’ offer if the team option is changed to a player option. The messaging from Jonathan Kuminga and his agent Aaron Turner, as reported, is they're all-in if the team option becomes a player option on the new three-year offer that's worth around $75 million. Done deal The Warriors have been unwilling to do a player option — Dalton Johnson (@DaltonJ_Johnson) The Warriors, as ESPN reported Monday, have not budged in their desire to maintain a team option in the deal, but also have offered Kuminga a three-year, $54 million fully guaranteed non-team-option contract as well. However, if Golden State were to give Kuminga the player option he desires in their three-year, $75.2 million offer, it could go a long way toward strengthening the relationship between the young forward and the organization for the 2025-26 NBA season and beyond. “That’s an understanding of him that it’s a show of goodwill if they set it to a player option, for what they’re calling ‘years of confusion’ over his role and a willingness to suppress some of his personal ambitions, which are obviously very much a part of the holdup here, accept what probably is going to be a bench role, what’s probably going to be fluctuating minutes and accepting what will very likely be a tradable contract,” Slater added. It’s unclear if the Warriors will budge, but if they do, a deal could be imminent.

• [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Jonathan Kuminga ‘absolutely miserable' with Warriors, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon
  A divorce between Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors , but when that could be now has become the question. Despite Golden State reportedly upping its contract offer to Kuminga to with a team option for the third season, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon believes to the 22-year-old forward. “You’re making this about the money. He’s miserable. he is absolutely miserable,” MacMahon said Tuesday on podcast. “It’s a bad situation. It’s a breakup that needs to happen sooner than later. It is a terrible situation for him. He was getting DNP-CDs in the playoffs. “The coach doesn’t want him. The coach doesn’t believe in him. The coach has publicly said over and over that he does not fit with the core of this team.” Kuminga registered to conclude the 2024-25 regular season and into the postseason. This after an already up-and-down four-year career with the Warriors after being selected by the team No. 7 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Despite showing flashes of his potential at times, Kuminga in coach Steve Kerr’s rotation. But when the Warriors needed him most — in their second-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an injured Steph Curry sidelined — Kuminga stepped up and showed out for Golden State, although it wasn’t enough to advance to the Western Conference finals. Kuminga seemingly used that impressive postseason performance to his advantage as he entered restricted free agency this offseason, seeking a larger role and a contract that gives him stability with an organization. But with training camp two weeks away, the situation remains unresolved. How much longer will Kuminga remain “miserable”? Hopefully, for the sake of all parties involved, not long.
