According to NBA insider Tim MacMahon, “ He’s miserable. He doesn’t want to be in Golden State. ” This is the reason why we are seeing Jonathan Kuminga drawn in a stalemate with the Warriors. This has affected them, making any other additions as the current roster stands at just 9 players. Despite reported offers of up to $75 million over three years, JK is holding firm and looks to accept the qualifying offer to control his future.
But even that move is not going to bring the expected results for the Congolese forward. Currently, he can sign a one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer by the October 1st deadline and come back next season without giving the Warriors long-term guarantees. If the team doesn’t get the guarantee, then the 22-year-old also doesn’t get it, according to Sam Vece
