Kuminga Rejects Extension, Warriors' Offseason Stalled

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga remains a restricted free agent after rejecting a five-year, $140 million extension from the team. Negotiations are at a standstill, with Kuminga considering a $7.9 million qualifying offer that would give him more control over his future. His agent has engaged the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings in sign-and-trade talks, but neither club has met the Warriors' demands for a first-round pick and a promising young player. The Warriors have yet to make any offseason signings or trades, as Kuminga's unresolved status has stalled their moves. The stalemate is further complicated by a cold free-agent market and limited league-wide cap space, which has reduced Kuminga's leverage. Both sides appear entrenched, with Kuminga seeking a larger role elsewhere and the Warriors refusing to compromise without significant return.
