The Golden State Warriors aren’t at present ready to supply Jonathan Kuminga a max contract extension price $224 million over 5 years, or any deal that even approaches that determine, sources inform Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Whereas Kuminga may doubtlessly play himself into that stratosphere, his restricted monitor report and potential match problems make the Warriors snug letting his restricted free company play out if an extension can’t be reached. Steve Kerr seems to consider Kuminga is not a small ahead as a consequence of spacing passing points and there’s a frontcourt minutes crunch with Draymond Inexperienced, Andrew Wiggins and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Kuminga may thrive as a smallball energy ahead.
The 2 sides have had tentative extension talks, however a transparent divide stays on his worth. An extension would additionally make Wiggins more difficult to commerce sooner or later this season as a consequence of poison tablet restrictions.
Kuminga is represented by agent Aaron Turner.
