According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the stalemate between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors continue, but some progress has been reached.
Golden State has upped their offer to three years worth $75 million and does include a team option. This is an upgrade compared to the two-year, $45 million offer Kuminga recently declined.
One of the main reasons as to why Kuminga declined their last attempt was due to not enough money and a team option being for the second year.
As of late, the 22-year-old has been questioning whether the Warriors actually want him around their organization or not.
Kuminga is not budging off his stance of wanting a fully guaranteed deal, or a two-year deal that includes a player option.
His representatives did present the Warriors with a three-year, $88 million deal with a player option. However, Golden State is not comfortable with giving that much money to Kuminga, who they see as an up-and-down player, when they have other roster issues.
