Kuminga's restricted free agency with the Warriors remains unresolved as talks extend into September. Golden State has floated a three-year, 75.2 million contract with a team option in year three, while Kuminga pursues potential control via a team option or a one-year qualifying offer.

Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green reached out to Kuminga, offering mentorship and signaling how veteran influence could shape his decision. Golden State is also linked to veteran targets like Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton, Seth Curry and Gary Payton II as it waits to finalize Kuminga before expanding the roster. Training camp begins Sept 29 with a Oct 5 preseason vs. the Lakers.

Draymond Green’s take on LeBron James as greater than Michael Jordan sharpens the GOAT debate by praising James’ ability to win with a limited supporting cast, citing Matthew Dellavedova as an example. The discussion contrasts James’ string of Finals runs against Jordan’s era, framed by the Warriors’ peak from 2015–2018.

Counterpoints highlight the quality of James’ supporting casts across Cleveland, Miami, and L.A.—Wade, Bosh, Irving, Love, Davis—versus Jordan’s surrounding cohort. The piece also notes Luka Dončić as a modern factor in the debate, underscoring how era and roster depth shape the GOAT conversation. The argument remains nuanced and data-rich, not settled.
