Jimmy Butler has reportedly pressed the Warriors to resolve Kuminga’s contract, asking for a concrete plan as training camp nears. He, Draymond Green and Curry are in the loop, but no deal is yet in place and time is tight.

The core dispute centers on Kuminga’s desire for a final-year player option, while Golden State counteroffers with a team option around $75M over three years (or $54M with no option). Until resolved, offseason targets like Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II and Seth Curry are stalled, and Curry’s leadership remains a crucial factor as the clock ticks toward camp.

With camp set to open in less than two weeks, Kuminga must decide on the $7.9M qualifying offer or risk unrestricted free agency next summer, and the Warriors’ title window hangs in the balance as the star trio weighs front-office strategy against roster cohesion.

Jimmy Butler joined Golden State midseason and immediately impacted the rotation, linking with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. A Warriors highlight reel showcases his Bay Area moments, while a full training camp could unlock his best version and fuel another title run.

Butler’s presence brings elite defense and secondary scoring, with Curry’s gravity amplifying his drive-and-kick game. If health and fit align, Golden State’s ceiling rises and fantasy managers should track Butler’s minutes, usage, and matchup-driven splits all season.

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.
