Kuminga Standoff Complicates Warriors; Seth Curry Expected

The Warriors remain widely expected to sign veteran sharpshooter Seth Curry to one of their remaining roster spots, providing floor spacing and bench depth. Golden State’s offseason, however, has been complicated by a stalled Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings — the Warriors have been firm about not including Buddy Hield or Moses Moody and are reluctant to absorb Malik Monk, leaving Sacramento to improve its package or find a third team. Kuminga’s camp, led by agent Aaron Turner, is pushing for a player option while the Warriors have reportedly offered team-option deals, including a reported three-year, $75.2 million offer; Kuminga faces an Oct. 1 deadline to accept an $8 million qualifying offer that would make him a free agent next summer. Kuminga skipped a player-led minicamp in San Diego, and league insiders say his public negotiation strategy has cooled interest around the league and effectively frozen parts of Golden State’s offseason.
