While there is still a long road ahead, the team extended a qualifying offer to its rising star.</p><p>The Warriors <a href="https://x.com/anthonyVslater/status/1938982132103475322" rel="noopener">extended a $7.9 million qualifying offer</a> to Kuminga, The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported. The tender allows Golden State to negotiate with Kuminga as he enters restricted free agency ahead of his fifth season.</p><p>Kuminga, who made just $7.3 million in 2024-2025, is seeking a substantial pay raise. With multiple teams interested in him and willing to pay, the tender is more of a formality than a legitimate offer. The Warriors reserve the right to match any deal Kuminga is offered in free agency. However, given their limited cap space, a large deal would likely be out of their price range.</p><p>The Warriors currently have nine players contracted through the 2025-2026 season, not including Kuminga. The majority of their cap space is taken up by Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, who are owed a combined $139 million in 2025-2026. Curry and Butler are both making more than $54 million per year over the next two seasons.</p><h2><b>Warriors F Jonathan Kuminga has multiple options in free agency</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Kuminga-vs-the-Warriors.jpg"><figcaption>Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>While Kuminga’s Warriors tenure is not officially over, the writing appears to be on the wall. Tension between the two sides has been escalating for years and has intensified exponentially during the 2024-2025 season. With multiple options on the table, Kuminga seems destined to begin his fifth season with a different organization.</p><p>Though his scoring numbers dipped slightly from a career-high 16.1 points per game in 2023-2024 to 15.3 in 2024-2025, Kuminga looked like a budding star in the playoffs. As the Warriors struggled with injuries, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/warriors-news-steve-kerr-congratulates-jonathan-kuminga-timberwolves">Kuminga stepped up in the conference semifinals</a>, leading the team with 20.8 points per game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p><p>If he does not outright sign with another team, Kuminga could be used in a sign-and-trade. The Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings and Brooklyn Nets are among the handful of teams interested in him. The Heat already have an established connection to the Warriors after negotiating a three-team trade involving Butler at the deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/nba-rumors-shams-confirms-heats-jonathan-kuminga-interest-amid-warriors-uncertainty">several rival teams eyeing Kuminga</a> through a sign-and-trade as well as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-wants-to-know-more-about-the-trade-stuff">Kuminga’s vocal desire to do “special things”</a> regardless of the circumstances, it’s been a mystery as to what the young forward wants to do.</p><p>However, in the wake of the 2025 NBA draft, Dubs general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. shed a little bit of light on the ongoing Kuminga saga. In a press conference, Dunleavy talked about the team’s concern level should <a href="https://x.com/kenzofuku/status/1938437004481728995" rel="noopener">negotiations drag into July</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy on Jonathan Kuminga’s wild card free agency, which is quickly approaching:</p><p>“On both sides, we’d like to get something figured out as soon as possible… from his end, ultimately he is the one as a free agent who has to sign the contract.” <a href="https://t.co/YUV24YdSGs">pic.twitter.com/YUV24YdSGs</a></p><p>— Kenzo Fukuda (@kenzofuku) <a href="https://twitter.com/kenzofuku/status/1938437004481728995?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“I think for both sides, we’d like to get something figured out as soon as possible,” Dunleavy stated. “Not going to stress out about it too much, but I think the main thing is making the right decisions, figuring the whole thing out, whether that’s day one or day 10 or whatever it is.</p><p>“Got to be prepared to take it as far as it goes. But the priority I would think for both sides is to get something done early.”</p><p>With the Warriors’ salary cap up against the first apron, it handicaps them with what they can do in free agency alone. If they want to make a change this offseason, they would need Kuminga’s participation in a sign-and-trade.</p><p>And even then, matching the money is tricky. Half of Kuminga’s salary would be outgoing, limiting the return they could get should both sides want to move on.</p><h2>It’s all in Jonathan Kuminga’s hands</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Los-Angeles-Sparks-at-Golden-State-Valkyries.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Still, this is based on the assumption that both sides are content with a farewell. Gauging what Kuminga truly wants is pure speculation. But it’s clear he wants a role and a space he believes is necessary to take a leap he believes he’s capable of. He wants to be a star. In an interview with Warriors insider Anthony Slater, Kuminga spoke candidly about <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6443584/2025/06/25/jonathan-kuminga-warriors-nba-future/" rel="noopener">his approach in recent weeks</a>.</p><p>“Things take time, but I feel like I’m at the point where that has to be my priority, to just be one of the guys a team relies on, aiming to be an All-Star, multiple times, aiming to be great,” Kuminga told The Athletic.</p><p>“Wherever I’m going to be at, it don’t matter if it’s the Warriors or if it’s anywhere else. It’s something I want. I want to see what I could do. I know I got it. So I want to really see. I’ve never got that chance.”</p><p>Like any young up-and-coming player, Kuminga desires an opportunity. But with the Warriors, that hasn’t always been the case. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-steve-kerr-100-real-jonathan-kuminga-playoff-usage">Kuminga’s detailed disagreements with Steve Kerr,</a> the player Kuminga wants to be hasn’t always aligned with Golden State’s vision for him.</p><p>In the same press conference, Dunleavy spoke candidly about how Kuminga’s desire to return or depart factors into the Warriors’ decision-making.</p><p>“Yeah, it’s important. I think from his end, ultimately, he’s the one who’s a free agent who has to sign the contract,” Dunleavy said. “By him doing that, if that happens with us, I think that’s reflective of his desire to be here. We’ll see, as they say.”</p><p>In other words, if Kuminga decides to return to the Warriors, it’s because he wants to be in Golden State, at least from Dunleavy and the front office’s perspective.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Last year, the team underperformed, and coming into this offseason, there will be changes to the roster, as well as some additions that should help them.</p><p>One thing to take note of is Zach LaVine and his future with the team, as he was traded to the Kings at last year’s deadline. The Kings may like him <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6452468/2025/06/26/sacramento-kings-offseason-nba-draft-2025/" rel="noopener">in their future plans</a>, but they have their eyes on someone else as well, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick.</p><p>“While the 30-year-old, two-time All-Star is extension-eligible this summer, team and league sources say there are no plans for the Kings to prioritize a new deal for LaVine,” Amick said. “If they’re going to pay that sort of freight, it’s quite clear, it will be for a younger player who can be a long-term part of their picture.</p><p>“To that end, league sources say the Kings are among the teams that have interest in Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga and will be monitoring his market when his restricted free agency begins. And while it appears unlikely that Kuminga will ultimately come their way, it speaks to the vision, and the range of possibilities here, that they’re even focusing on players of that ilk.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-wants-to-know-more-about-the-trade-stuff">Kuminga’s market will be interesting</a>, as some reports have noted that there could be a reunion with him and the Warriors.</p><h2><b>Could the Kings look to acquire Jonathan Kuminga?</b></h2><p>If the Kings want to get younger, trying to acquire someone like Kuminga should definitely be on their list. Kuminga has upside, and on the Warriors, his role has changed a few times, so it may have been hard for him to find consistency. With the Kings, it’s hard to know how they might use him, but his role may be more clear than it’s ever been.</p><p>If Kuminga is brought in to the Kings, then the future of LaVine should be in question. They already have a load of wings on the roster, and no one knows what will happen with DeMar DeRozan as well. If Perry wants to go completely young, then there’s a good chance either LaVine or DeRozan is getting traded. That would leave space for Kuminga to have a big role with the team if they were to acquire him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They saw a potential lottery pick in Kasparas Jakucionis fall to their lap all the way to the 20th overall pick, a selection they got from the Golden State Warriors in the Jimmy Butler trade. With Jakucionis, Kel’el Ware, and Jaime Jaquez Jr., the Heat at least have a few building blocks around Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to help gear up for another playoff push in 2026.</p><p>But the Heat, as always, are one of the most active teams on the trade market and are tirelessly looking for ways to improve the team. To that end, it looks as though they reportedly are <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1938063096075194420" rel="noopener">looking into bringing in</a> another Warriors player in Jonathan Kuminga, as per Shams Charania of ESPN.</p><p>“After missing out on Kevin Durant, the Miami Heat are remaining active. When you look into free agency, one name to keep an eye on that I’m told they are expected to be a potential suitor for is Warriors restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga,” Charania said on ESPN’s coverage of the 2025 NBA Draft.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"One name to keep an eye on that I'm told they are expected to be a potential suitor for is Warriors restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.”</p><p>Shams Charania breaks down what the Heat could do this offseason 👀</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/aN7Hq2QRbB">pic.twitter.com/aN7Hq2QRbB</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1938063096075194420?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Kuminga, of course, is a restricted free agent whom the Warriors can bring back by matching any offer he gets from any other team. For all intents and purposes, the Warriors can still bring him back, if only to utilize him as a trade chip. If the Heat were to put on a full-court press in their pursuit of Kuminga, they may have to engage with Golden State on a potential sign-and-trade.</p><p>The Heat’s interest in Kuminga is nothing new. They reportedly were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/how-warriors-plan-build-around-stephen-curry-jimmy-butler-siegels-scoop">asking the Warriors about his availability</a> in Jimmy Butler trade talks, as per ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel.</p><h2>Jonathan Kuminga to break out in potential role with the Heat?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Warriors-forward-Jonathan-Kuminga-i.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kuminga’s desire to find a place where he can blossom into the best version of himself is no secret. HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto has reported in the past about this, with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">Heat reportedly interested in giving Kuminga</a> that opportunity.</p><p>The Warriors, of course, are going to want some kind of return for Kuminga in a sign-and-trade. They held on to him for so long amid interest in star players such as Paul George and Lauri Markkanen in recent years, and they fought hard to exclude him from the Butler trade. The Heat, however, are not going to budge, as they refused to include the likes of Nikola Jovic and Ware in talks for Kevin Durant.</p><p>This is shaping up to be a major standoff between the Warriors and Heat, although at the very least, they have experience negotiating difficult trades with each other what with Golden State giving Miami a resolution to the Butler ordeal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Several reports, including from The Stein Line and HoopsHype, have indicated that teams such as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, and Brooklyn Nets have expressed interest</a> in acquiring the athletic forward, particularly in a sign-and-trade framework.</p><h2><b>Jonathan Kuminga focused on growth as Warriors weigh future plans following playoff exit</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/timberwolves.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kuminga added that regardless of where he ends up, his priority is proving that he belongs and fulfilling his potential.</p><p>“Wherever I go, wherever I’ll be, off the rip, I just want them to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, he deserved what he got. He deserved to be here. He worked hard for it,’” Kuminga said. “Wherever it is, that’s what I want it to feel like. I want to be great. I feel like I’m capable of being that, capable of doing some special things and I won’t just let it go like that. The only way to get there is just to lock in every single day.”</p><p>Kuminga is coming off his fourth NBA season, during which he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 45.4% from the field and 30.5% from beyond the arc across 47 appearances. He notably elevated his performance in the playoffs, averaging 20.8 points on 54.3% shooting in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-insider-suggests-ben-simmons-signing">Warriors’ second-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves</a>.</p><p>Golden State faces a critical offseason following that playoff exit. With a new core forming around Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, and Draymond Green, the front office must determine how Kuminga fits into the team’s long-term vision — or whether to explore trade opportunities.</p><p>While the Warriors have not ruled out re-signing Kuminga, his desire for a larger role combined with the team’s salary cap limitations could open the door to a move. For now, Kuminga remains focused on growth, wherever that journey may take him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And things improved in 2024-25, and then didn’t, and then did again as Kerr desperately tried to find lineups that worked during an early-season hot streak, midseason collapse, post-trade deadline revival, and a playoff run in which Golden State suffered from injuries to Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry, as a brief illness for Kuminga.</p><p>This past season, Kuminga played 24.3 minutes per game, an 8% drop in playing time from 2023-24. He played 47 games, a career-low, which contributed to a career-low in starts (10), and he struggled being as efficient as he had been in years past, posting career-worst true shooting and effective field-goal numbers amid the highest usage-rate season of his four-year career.</p><p>Despite the usage rate rising and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-steve-kerr-100-real-jonathan-kuminga-playoff-usage">Kuminga seemingly finding a role at the end of the postseason</a> — he played no less than 26 minutes in the final four games of the playoffs — <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6443584/2025/06/25/jonathan-kuminga-warriors-nba-future/?source=user_shared_article" rel="noopener">it is clear he wants some</a> consistency as he heads into a critical offseason in his career.</p><p>“That’s what’s been on my mind,” Kuminga told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “Things take time, but I feel like I’m at the point where that has to be my priority, to just be one of the guys a team relies on. Aiming to be an All-Star. Multiple times. Aiming to be great. … Wherever I’m going to be at, it don’t matter if it’s the Warriors or if it’s anywhere else, it’s something I want. I want to see what I could do. I know I got it. So I want to really see. I’ve never got that chance.”</p><p>He added that he has never had a “consistent role,” saying that “[i]t only happens five games on, 10 games off.”</p><p>As he has completed his fourth year in the NBA and he has not signed an extension, Kuminga will almost certainly be extended a $7.98 million qualifying offer by the Warriors, who are required to do so to retain his rights. Kuminga could decide to sign the offer, which would ensure he is an unrestricted free agent and free to sign anywhere next offseason.</p><p>The two sides, as has been the case for a while, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-future-main-priority-free-agency">could also finalize an extension this summer</a>. If one or both parties are ready to part ways, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/nets-rumors-current-expectation-on-jonathan-kuminga-offer-sheet-comes-with-trade-twist">Kuminga could either sign an offer sheet with another team</a>, which would make the Warriors have to decide whether they want to match and keep him in San Francisco or let him walk for nothing. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">A sign-and-trade could be the best of both worlds</a> in this scenario, allowing Kuminga to start anew while the Warriors receive something in return for his departure.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They cannot afford to dwell in the past, however. The clock is ticking on this Curry/Draymond Green/Jimmy Butler-led era of Dubs basketball, and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. must <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-mike-dunleavy-jr-hints-potential-offseason-trades">respond accordingly this offseason</a>.</p><p>Since Golden State does not presently own a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the first huge item on his agenda will be addressing the Jonathan Kuminga situation. The four-year forward is a restricted free agent, forcing the Warriors to finally determine if he is in their long-term plans. Dunleavy confirmed <a href="https://x.com/DaltonJ_Johnson/status/1937242561732894778" rel="noopener">the urgency surrounding the looming decision</a>.</p><p>“It’s a main priority heading into free agency,” he said, per NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson. With the madness set to begin on June 30, the front office is surely considering how to best proceed forward. Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints recently reported that there is some momentum for a possible reunion. He also said Golden State is doing its due diligence and could gauge league interest in a potential sign-and-trade. The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls are two <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/siegels-scoop-how-kevin-durant-trade-saga-impacts-draft-free-agency-rumors">potential suitors in the Kuminga sweepstakes</a>.</p><p>The Warriors invested a top-10 draft pick in the man, though.</p><h2><b>What will the Warriors do with Jonathan Kuminga?</b></h2><p>He is still only 22 years old and has flashed plenty of promise over the last couple of seasons. Talent should not be an issue. The organization’s concern may revolve around fit and discipline. Kuminga missed a significant amount of time with a January ankle injury and then eventually saw his role diminish toward the end of the season, preventing him from enjoying the type of contract year he likely envisioned.</p><p>The 2022 NBA champion should still command a sizable deal this summer, though. He averaged 15.3 points on 45.4 percent shooting to go along with 4.6 rebounds in 47 games last season. His athleticism and youth should resonate with at least one team. However, if the Warriors are unsure about Kuminga’s value moving forward, they may just bid him farewell and complete the aforementioned sign-and-trade.</p><p>There is no time to waste. Every move Mike Dunleavy Jr. and company make must focus on getting the squad closer to an NBA title. They need to quickly figure out if re-singing Jonathan Kuminga falls under that category.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As it appears <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-how-kevin-durant-trade-saga-impacts-jonathan-kuminga">Kevin Durant’s status has impacted Kuminga’s trade market</a> in some facets, there has been one team that has been present within the past several seasons with the star.</p><p>Jake Fischer wrote for “The Stein Line” that the “most likely outcome” for Kuminga is that he remains with Golden State as he is set to become a restricted free agent. However, Fischer would point out that Chicago has had “ongoing interest” in the 22-year-old and that they’ve been active in trade discussions for him <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-on-jonathan-kuminga-much?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=166476652&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">“over the past two seasons.”</a></p><p>“None of those teams, though, have been mentioned to date as potential destinations for Kuminga,” Fischer wrote. “It does seem, at this juncture, that the most likely outcome for the Warriors’ restricted free agent swingman is a return to Golden State.”</p><p>“However…Sources say that Chicago has an ongoing interest in the 22-year-old forward,” Fischer continued. “This tracks with past interest that the Bulls have shown in Kuminga in previous trade discussions with Golden State over the past two seasons involving players such as Alex Caruso, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vučević.”</p><h2><b>The Bulls’ connection to Jonathan Kuminga has been well-known</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Jonathan-Kuminga-on-May-12-2025.-2.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/how-warriors-plan-build-around-stephen-curry-jimmy-butler-siegels-scoop">Bulls being connected to Kuminga isn’t new,</a> as Fischer pointed out, as ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel mentioned in May that the team, along with the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, have “preliminary interest” in the swingman.</p><p>“The Nets, along with the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, are three teams with preliminary interest in Kuminga ahead of free agency, sources said,” Siegel wrote. “Both Kuminga and the Warriors could come to an understanding on a new, fair contract, but the idea of exploring sign-and-trade opportunities seems like the best path for both parties.”</p><p>As Fischer would continue, Kuminga’s future could look a little clearer once Durant is traded and on a new team, which would bring a shift to the plan’s other teams. This includes Miami, which is in active pursuit of Durant, and if the team is unable to land him, the front office could look to Kuminga.</p><p>“The reality for Kuminga is that a clearer read on his summer landscape is unlikely to reveal itself until Kevin Durant’s trade future is resolved and the NBA’s most accomplished scoring forward, widely regarded as available, has a new team,” Fischer wrote. “There is a belief among some rival teams, for example, that Miami could emerge as a potential Kuminga suitor — among various guards and swingmen that the Heat could target — if Pat Riley and Co. do not win the Durant Trade Sweepstakes.”</p><p>It remains to be seen where Kuminga ends up this summer, as many finalities seem to be in play.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kuminga has potential without question, but his playing time has been inconsistent with Golden State. As a result, some rumors have suggested that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">Kuminga could land with a new team</a> this offseason. With that being said, NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/siegels-scoop-how-kevin-durant-trade-saga-impacts-draft-free-agency-rumors">recently reported</a> that a Kuminga-Warriors reunion is receiving “some momentum.”</p><p>“However, a return to the Warriors for the 22-year-old forward has gained some momentum, league sources said,” Siegel wrote in a recent article.</p><p>Kuminga, a 22-year-old, would surely draw the attention of many teams around the league. A 6’7″ forward, Kuminga provides versatility in addition to intriguing scoring potential. He can realistically guard multiple positions on defense while playing a number of roles on the offensive end of the floor.</p><p>The Warriors forward averaged just over 24 minutes per outing during the 2024-25 campaign and still averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Kuminga was limited to just 47 total games played, but he performed well for the most part in those matchups.</p><p>In 2023-24 Kuminga recorded 16.1 points per game across 74 total contests. He has displayed the ability to play at a high level throughout the course of a full season.</p><p>The Warriors need to decide if Jonathan Kuminga is a player who they want to include in their plans for the future. Golden State features an older core of players with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler leading the way. The team is hopeful that the veterans can find success in the short-term future, but the Warriors also have to consider the long-term outlook.</p><p>If Kuminga doesn’t fit into their future plans then a trade could come to fruition. Of course, there is a chance that Golden State decides that Kuminga is indeed someone who can help the Warriors for years to come.</p><p>His ceiling is exciting without question. Regardless of whether or not Kuminga stays in Golden State, he projects to be a future star at the NBA level.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-jonathan-kuminga-free-agency-hit-with-harsh-reality">Kuminga seems to have a harsh reality of a dwindling trade market</a> due to other pursuits by teams, among other reasons, this remains true with the current chain of events relating to Durrant.</p><p>Per the latest report from Jake Fischer on “The Stein Line,” he would speak on how the incoming restricted free agent’s future is <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-nba-draft-intel-kevin?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=166283635&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">“clouded”</a> because of Durant, and until that is concluded, it would be hard to project further interest. Fischer cites the Miami Heat as one team that could look to Kuminga if they cannot get Durant, since they are one of the franchises in active pursuit.</p><p>“The immediate future of Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga would appear to be even more clouded by Durant uncertainty than DeRozan’s,” Fischer wrote. “There have been no tangible rumblings to this point that Brooklyn — which is the NBA’s lone team on course to have significant salary cap space this summer — has plans to pursue Kuminga with the Nets’ projected $55 million in operating room.”</p><p>“Trying to forecast sign-and-trade scenarios that could potentially materialize for the bouncy 22-year-old swingman will thus be difficult to pinpoint until Durant’s situation is settled,” Fischer continued. “Maybe Miami, for example, would make a sign-and-trade run at Kuminga in the event that the Heat don’t win the trade race to acquire the league’s No. 8 all-time leading scorer. Sources say Miami has registered a level of interest in Kuminga in previous transaction cycles.”</p><h2><b>Prior interest in Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Jonathan-Kuminga-on-May-12-2025.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even though ultimately <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-scout-reveals-best-thing-that-could-happen-to-jonathan-kuminga">Kuminga will look for the best path possible</a> for a hopeful long career, it does seem that there will have to be patience on his end.

As <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-jonathan-kuminga-free-agency-hit-with-harsh-reality">trade rumors surround Kuminga</a>, the latest report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype has such teams as the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls listed as potential suitors.</p><p>Scotto would point out how, with the 22-year-old set to be a restricted free agent in the offseason, the uncertainty with Golden State is apparent. He mentioned how the question of fit, since the Jimmy Butler trade, the up-and-down relationship with head coach Steve Kerr, and the trade talks could head for a collision course of a “change of scenery.”</p><p>Seeking a bigger role with another team, Scotto reports that Miami and Chicago should be monitored as <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-kevin-durant-trade-talks-desmond-bane-jonathan-kuminga-celtics-hawks-nets/" rel="noopener">“potential sign-and-trade candidates.”</a></p><p>“Kuminga is looking for an expanded and consistent role moving forward, league sources told HoopsHype,” Scotto wrote. “The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are two teams to monitor as potential sign-and-trade candidates for Kuminga, league sources told HoopsHype.

Still, it would matter the best return the Warriors can get, even with Scotto mentioning how the team has expressed interest in Chicago’s Nikola Vucevic in the past, especially since he has “all traits that would appeal,” though Miami has had interest for a long time.</p><p>“Last season, Golden State expressed interest in trading for Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, now entering the final year of his contract worth $21.48 million,” Scotto wrote. “With the Warriors in a win-now mode, Vucevic’s durability, scoring (17.2 points career average), shooting (40.2 3-point percentage last season), and rebounding (10.5 per game for his career) are all traits that would appeal to Golden State.”</p><p>“Chicago’s roster has gotten younger, and Kuminga, who turns 23 in October, would fit their timeline better than Vucevic, who turns 35 in October and wants to win now, ideally,” Scotto continued. “Miami has prioritized pursuits of Giannis Antetokounmpo (if he became available this summer) and Durant (whom they’re actively trying to acquire) on their wish list ahead of Kuminga, who’s viewed as a fallback option to the two superstars.”</p><p>It remains to be seen where Kuminga ends up, but this offseason will be vital to the young player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite a productive postseason and solid regular season contributions, Kuminga’s market has yet to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKoBxp0o8Cc&amp;t=1136s" rel="noopener">generate significant traction</a>, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.</p><p>Speaking on the latest episode of NBA Rumors with Jake Fischer | NBA Insider Notebook, Fischer stated that interest around the 22-year-old forward has been surprisingly quiet to this point in the offseason.</p><p>“I’m not seeing, I have not heard of a developing, burgeoning, busy market for Jonathan Kuminga at the moment,” Fischer said. “It’s still early just like we’ve said throughout this show, but there might be the most likely scenario right now, I think is Jonathan Kuminga and Golden State needing each other. I think that’s the scenario that makes the most sense. A short-term deal that gets him paid and keeps Golden State’s optionality on the table.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-becomes-13th-nba-player-to-reach-all-defensive-milestone">Warriors were eliminated in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs</a> by the Minnesota Timberwolves, a loss that has prompted internal discussions about roster construction and future direction. Kuminga’s role has been one of the central questions amid those talks, particularly following the midseason acquisition of Jimmy Butler III.</p><h2><b>Limited market and financial factors could lead to short-term Warriors return for Jonathan Kuminga</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Draymond-Green-and-Jonathan-Kuminga.jpg"><figcaption>Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While there has been prior speculation about a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/nets-rumors-current-expectation-on-jonathan-kuminga-offer-sheet-comes-with-trade-twist">potential sign-and-trade involving Kuminga</a>, recent developments suggest that financial realities and limited external interest may keep the forward in Golden State — at least in the near term. Fischer’s comments indicate that a short-term agreement allowing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-1-major-complication-for-jonathan-kuminga-trade-scenarios">Kuminga to remain with the Warriors could serve both sides</a> as they assess longer-term options.</p><p>Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game on 45.4% shooting from the field across 47 regular season appearances in 2024-25. His postseason performance, especially in the second-round series against Minnesota, drew praise as he averaged 20.8 points on 54.3% shooting and 42.1% from three-point range in that series. However, questions remain about his consistency, fit within the current roster, and long-term upside relative to the team’s timeline.</p><p>Fischer also noted a hypothetical involving the Brooklyn Nets, where Kuminga could be positioned as a trade piece rather than a long-term foundational player.</p><p>“It would make a lot of sense for the Nets to try to find a pathway for a number that gives Jonathan Kuminga the money he wants, but isn’t considered a potential overpay where Kuminga could then rehabilitate his trade value and then potentially be a piece that Brooklyn puts on the table to go out and make their next superstar trade,” Fischer explained. “Like the opposite end of Kevin Durant being traded out.”</p><p>While that scenario remains speculative, it underscores how teams around the league may view Kuminga — as a talented player still finding his ceiling, rather than an untouchable building block.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
