Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s contract situation has taken up a majority of the headlines for the Golden State Warriors, but there could be a way to solve the issue for both parties involved.<\/p>\n

Kuminga is a restricted free agent currently, and has been seeking a lucrative deal. Additionally, teams such as the Sacramento Kings have touched base about trading for the young forward.<\/p>\n

Last season, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, and 4.6 rebounds per game in 47 appearances. However, his playing time and role in the rotation have been inconsistent under head coach Steve Kerr, leading to some animosity from Kuminga.<\/p>\n

NBA insider Jake Fischer<\/a> believes that there is a way to resolve this contract conflict: Giving Kuminga a deal with a player option.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s side would take this one-plus-one situation with Golden State, this two-year, $45 million offer that\u2019s been on the table if he were to get a player option in year two,\u201d he said.<\/a> \u201cBut I was told yesterday from various sources that Golden State is going to be holding firm that the second year is going to be a team option, and that\u2019s kind of where the staring contest is at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors won\u2019t just let Kuminga walk for nothing. Despite the inconsistent playing time, the 22-year-old has still shown flashes of a potential star player in the making, which the team can\u2019t afford to lose. Nonetheless, the contract dispute between Kuminga and the Warriors will be one the team\u2019s biggest obstacles this offseason, which they hope is resolved sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s contract situation has taken up a majority of the headlines for the Golden State Warriors, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-58090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
