Average of 15+4+2! Ask for an annual salary of 30 million! The King has become Kumingga s most likely home

On June 29, according to the Warriors' reporter Anthony Slater, NBA sources revealed that the Golden State Warriors have officially provided forward Jonathan Cumingga with a qualification offer worth $7.9 million. At this point, Kumingga became a restricted free agent. In this way, the Warriors will have the right to prioritize matching contract offers provided by other teams in the league! It is reported that in the past year or more, the two sides have negotiated many times on renewal of the contract. However, since the two parties could not reach an agreement on the contract amount, the Warriors finally gave a qualification quote due to the situation.

As we all know, Warriors boss Jora Kob has always been willing to spend money on players. If he hadn't feared luxury tax, the Warriors wouldn't have been able to win the finals and win four championships in the past ten years! According to previous reports, Warriors boss Jora Kobe admires Kumingga very much and believes that he can grow into an All-Star and is even expected to become the core of the team building in the future. Then why don’t the Warriors provide Kuminga with the ideal contract they want now? The reason is very simple. Kumingga does not have the ability to get a maximum salary contract yet! This means that it is not that the Warriors can't afford the maximum salary contract, but that Kuminga's ability has not reached that level. In 2024-25, Kumingga played 47 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, shooting percentage of 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 30.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 66.8%. In 8 playoff games, he averaged 23.4 minutes per game and contributed 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting percentage of 48.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70.1%. Data won't lie! Not only did Kumingga not reach the maximum salary level, his performance on the court could not even reach the annual salary of 30 million.

According to famous reporter Brett Siegel, the Warriors have made it clear that they hope that the team can maintain financial flexibility in the future. Alliance sources revealed that the price for the Warriors to keep Kuminga will be very high because he hopes to get a big contract with an average annual salary of more than $30 million. It can be seen from this that as long as Kumingjia receives a contract quotation with an annual salary of more than 30 million, the Warriors will most likely not choose to match the quotation.

In addition, according to famous reporter Brett Siegel, league sources revealed that the Sacramento Kings have now replaced the Brooklyn Nets and become Jonathan Cumingga's most likely next team. In addition, the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat are also actively chasing Kumingga. It can be seen that there are quite a few teams in the free market that want to get Kumingga, but there are probably not many teams that can really provide them with ideal big contracts. After all, Kumingga's comprehensive performance in the past few years is at most unsatisfactory, not outstanding. If he was really given an ideal contract, it would definitely be a big bet! The Warriors dare not do this, and I believe other teams will think twice before doing it.

According to relevant reports, Jonathan Kumingga's team is very optimistic about his prospects, and they are optimistic that the 2025-26 season will be the best season in Kumingga's career so far. But then again, Kumingga failed to perform at the top level in a team atmosphere as good as the Warriors. Can he really transform into a qualitative leap when he goes to other teams? This obviously makes people doubt! Based on past cases, McCaw, Jordan Poole, James Wiseman and others who left the Warriors not only failed to achieve great success in their new owners, but instead became increasingly unknown. So, where will Kumingga go this summer? What kind of new contract will he get? Let's wait and see!
