The Golden State Warriors have had weeks to explore the numerous possible paths forward for the Jonathan Kuminga saga. According to the latest reports, they’ve picked the one that is bound to create the most mess.

Despite this staunch belief in Kuminga's ability, however, the Warriors also won't pay him like you would a player you project to have star potential. The offer on the table remains a two-year, $45 million contract with a team option in the second year that asks Kuminga to waive his implied no-trade clause for having just a one year guarantee.
