Golden State’s contract clash centers on a three-year, $75.2M deal for Jonathan Kuminga, with the Warriors pressing for a final-year team option and Kuminga seeking a player option. The team option would keep Kuminga in Golden State at a top-20 salary and preserve roster flexibility to chase upgrades or a sign-and-trade as Curry, Green, and the aging core enter the next two seasons in a crowded Western Conference.
