Kuminga and Warriors will hold negotiations about the contract

• Kuminga declined a contract worth 45 million dollars.
• Warriors are trying to convince Kuminga to remain with the team.
• Kuminga is considering signing a qualifying offer.

Negotiations between the Golden State Warriors and their restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga are ongoing without significant progress. As of September 1, 2025, Kuminga declined a two-year deal worth 45 million dollars that the club offered, and is considering the possibility of signing a qualifying offer worth 7.9 million dollars for the upcoming season.

Warriors attempted to persuade Kuminga to sign the deal, but he is not ready to turn down the right to negotiate, which could be included in the contract. Meanwhile, teams like the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns are trying to initiate discussions, but the Warriors do not show interest in their proposals.

According to ESPN information, the Warriors plan to close negotiations on the common ground and focus on the fact that Kuminga remains with the team, maintaining his status as a restricted free agent. If Kuminga decides to sign the qualifying offer, he will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, which significantly limits the Warriors' trading possibilities.

In the meantime, Kuminga continues to share hints on social media, indicating his intention to pursue his interests. The Warriors aim to find a compromise, but face risks associated with the absence of a deal.
