In two weeks, NBA training camps will begin. Most teams have a majority, if not all, of their 15 roster spots filled. However, that is not true for the Golden State Warriors.
As of September 15, the Warriors have only nine of their 15 roster spots filled for 2025-26. That’s because Jonathan Kuminga remains unsigned this offseason. He is the domino that will trigger the rest of Golden State’s plans. NBA insiders reported that Golden State offered Kuminga a three-year, $75 million deal. That included a team option in the third season.
What type of deal will Jonathan Kuminga sign this offseason?

Jonathan Kuminga and his agent are hesitant to sign the deal. They believe the deal is more of a trade asset for the Warriors, rather than a commitment to Kuminga long-term. Veterans on Golden State’s roster, like Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, have reached out this offseason. Despite their efforts, Kuminga is still unsigned.
According to Shams Charania, the key issue in this hold-up is the team option. Jonathan Kuminga and his agent have asked for a deal with a player-option in the third season. He’s only been offered one deal this offseason that didn’t include a team option. That was a three-year, $54 million deal. With just weeks before training camp begins, the Warriors need to sign Jonathan Kuminga or trade him. He’s restricted their plans the entire offseason.
