A major roadblock stopping the Golden State Warriors’ three main free agency targets from signing with the team deals with Jonathan Kuminga.
Warriors’ impasse with Jonathan Kuminga halting other moves
CBS Sports’ Robby Kalland highlighted a report from NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole that revealed several top free agents’ stances on joining the team.
Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II are all waiting to see what will happen with Kuminga’s restricted free agency situation. The potential deal will impact Golden State greatly.
Should Kuminga seize the $7.9 million qualifying offer he has on the table, the Warriors would have more financial flexibility. However, if the Warriors bend to his two-year, $45 million desire, that will put the team in an even tougher situation.
