The Golden State Warriors have parted ways with quite some talented players over the past few years. Notably, the most recent departure was that of Klay Thompson, a player who played for them for 13 years. However, they also have young stars on their roster, like Jonathan Kuminga in particular. Kuminga has been a stellar player for them this past 2023-24 NBA season.
Although the Warriors had a poor 2023-24 NBA season, their fans will be happy that they got a player like Kuminga on their side. Moreover, at barely 21 years old, Kuminga has the potential to become a significant player, but contract discussions have put him in a difficult position. By October 21st, an extension deal must be struck; otherwise, he becomes a restricted free agency in 2025.
Most recently, as per various reports, the Warriors will attempt to extend Jonathan Kuminga’s contract “in the ballpark of $140-$155M.” However, this has garnered mixed reactions from NBA fans around the world. Some fans on social media are labeling it as ‘overpaid.’ One fan wrote on X, “holy Overpay” regarding Kuminga’s contract extension with the Warriors.
In 74 games the previous season, Kuminga averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. These are stellar numbers in the NBA for Kuminga, considering he is just 21. Hence, Kuminga’s fate with the Warriors will be decided in the upcoming weeks. The contract discussions will determine whether he stays a vital player or is traded to another team.
