The Golden State Warriors are working diligently to keep their star players on the team after losing Klay Thompson. They recently secured Stephen Curry’s future, but decisions still loom regarding other key players, including Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.
According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Warriors are likely considering offering Kuminga a contract extension in the range of $140-$155 million. With Kuminga expected to take on Thompson’s role, the team seems eager to invest in his future, potentially seeing him as a vital piece of their legacy.
However, many NBA fans aren’t convinced. The idea of paying such a large sum to Kuminga has sparked debate, with some fans believing it’s an overpay, especially when other notable players are also in line for contract extensions.
For these fans, the idea of offering Kuminga a $140-$155 million extension seems excessive and raises questions about the team’s priorities moving forward.
Warriors Face October Deadline to Secure Jonathan Kuminga’s Future
Jonathan Kuminga’s future with the team is uncertain as contract extension talks are underway. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently shared his thoughts on the situation during an appearance on ESPN’s “First Take.” Windhorst believes that Kuminga could be traded if the Warriors don’t offer him an extension by the October deadline.
“A key player to watch is Jonathan Kuminga. He is in the middle of contract extension talks right now. If they sign him to an extension, it’s more unlikely they trade him. However, if we get past the October deadline of an extension and they don’t find a deal there, he becomes a high probability of being traded during the season,” Windhorst said.
Kuminga played in 74 games last season and had a solid performance. He averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
Next month will be crucial in determining whether Kuminga will stay with the Warriors with the projected hefty extension or move on to a new team.
