The contract talks between the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga<\/a> might have reached their peak. Since July 1st, the two sides have been working hard to find a common ground that will make them happy. But so far, nothing has materialized. According to the latest reports, the biggest stars on the Warriors have talked to management and urged them to offer Kuminga<\/a> a fair deal in contract talks.<\/p>\n

Warriors\u2019 Stars Rally Behind Kuminga in Contract Talks<\/h2>\n

Per Brett Siegel<\/a> from ClutchPoints, Steph Curry<\/a>, Jimmy Butler<\/a>, and Draymond Green<\/a> have advocated behind the scenes for the Warriors to re-sign Kuminga to a fair contract. The problem there is that both sides have different views on what a “fair contract” is. It seems like they have found a common ground on the money, but they are still working on details like length and options.<\/p>\n

The good news for Kuminga is that it seems like the Warriors veterans all want him back on the roster<\/a>. They are aware that his athleticism, durability, and production cannot be replicated on the market, at least not with the assets the Warriors have. If they lose Kuminga, they will lose a player who is ready to contribute during the long 82-game season.<\/p>\n

Kuminga, for his part, has signaled that he is willing to help the team with a smaller cap figure and buy into the role of helping the veterans win a championship. He seems to be aware that his time will come, whether that is in a Warriors uniform or another team. We will wait and see.<\/p>\n
