The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga are locked in a standstill amid the forward's restricted free agency.

Contract talks with the Warriors did not go well early on, which has led to Kuminga considering picking up his qualifying offer and reaching unrestricted free agency next summer, when he'll have total control over his next team.
The Warriors, for their part, were aiming to find a trade partner for Kuminga, getting back assets that fit better with the franchise's direction.
Despite Golden State taking the forward high in the draft, his time in the Bay Area has been a roller-coaster ride.
