Shams wrote an article today about the negotiation deadlock between Warriors and Kumingga.

As gathered in Las Vegas for the summer league in July, Aaron Turner (Kuminga's agent) offered a three-year, $82 million offer to Dunleavy and Jon Phelps (Warriors' salary director) for a three-year, $82 million offer with player options, according to sources.

Sources said the Warriors have been hesitating whether to offer such a generous and long-term contract to Kumingga, showing concerns about the future value of the contract. Curry, Butler and Green's contracts will all expire after the 2026-27 season. Currently, the team is expected to have clean ledgers and flexibility in the summer of 2027.
