Kuminga's restricted free agent status keeps him at the center of Golden State's plans. The Warriors offered a three-year, 75.2M contract with a team option in year three, while Kuminga seeks control via a team option, not a player option or a one-year QO.

Kuminga’s situation is highlighted as a focal point in the Warriors’ roster dynamics, signaling potential breakout opportunities and how it could influence Curry’s fantasy value and overall team output as Golden State navigates a crowded, high-usage backcourt.

Restricted free agent whose next contract will shape his long-term trajectory and the Warriors' wing rotation. He pushes for a player option and about $30M per year, while accepting a favorable structure for himself; still undecided as Oct. 1 approaches.

Kuminga pushes for a genuine chance to start and contribute, resisting a purely tradable role. He prefers a contract that preserves freedom (team option vs. player option) and fears becoming a bargaining chip if used solely for trade leverage.

Kwining as the central figure in a four-year framework clash, Kuminga seeks long-term autonomy via player option or unrestricted free agency, while remaining wary of a team-option structure that limits his leverage and growth.
