It is the end of a long, very long soap opera at Golden State. ESPN announces that Jonathan Kuminga Finally extended with the franchise which drafted it in 2021 (in 7th position). Accepting a contract of $ 48.5 million over two years.
However, his second year will only be ” team option », Allowing Warriors (even another team…) to use it to better negotiate a new contract. Enough to satisfy the player, who therefore obtains 48.5 and not $ 40 million over two years, or $ 75 million over three years. On the other hand, he does not recover the ” player option That he coveted so much, even if it is always much more money than the amount of his ” qualifying offer (7.9 million dollars).
But that does not mean that Jonathan Kuminga will remain permanently in Golden State, since it is likely that he is exchanged during the season (in Sacramento?). He will not be able to be before January 15 and, by then, he will play to bring back his value on the market. And also to prove Californian leaders wrong, who did not want to align with his requirements …
In any case, this is the end of uncertainty for the Warriors, who will now be able to get to work by being complete, because the Congolese had already missed the recovery. They have 14 players under contract and they still have room to sign one (Seth Curry?), But it will be necessary to wait for mid-November to do so.
