Around-the-league NBA notes on a Friday?<\/p>\n

With more coming from the old man on Sunday?<\/p>\n

As it should be!<\/p>\n

To the latest from my notebook on Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>, potential Golden State trade scenarios, late-summer roster openings throughout the league and much more:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Warriors and Kuminga \u2014 if you somehow haven’t heard, read or watched this summer \u2014 remain at a contract impasse as Labor Day Weekend draws near.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Graphic from the Hardwood Knocks podcast.<\/p>\n

Golden State has not been willing to offer the 22-year-old forward more than $45 million over two years, league sources say, in what would be the second NBA contract for 2021’s seventh overall pick. <\/p>\n

The Warriors have been unwavering in their stance that the deal structure include a team option in its second season for the 2026-27 campaign and that any agreement would force Kuminga to waive his right to grant consent on any trade during the 2025-26 season, when the bouncy swingman would be classified as a One-Year Bird. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile …<\/p>\n

Kuminga and agent Aaron Turner of Verus Management have been just as resolute in their stance. No Warriors offer to date has come close to the four years and roughly $90 million that Phoenix had been prepared to furnish him, including a player option in Year 4, via sign-and-trade.<\/p>\n

Remember, though, that Golden State does not want to lose Kuminga without compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Around-the-league NBA notes on a Friday?
