According to The Athletic's Anthony Slater, the Warriors extended a $7.9 million qualifying offer to Kuminga for the 2025-26 season on Saturday. The move makes Kuminga a restricted free agent, giving Golden State the right to match any deal he finds on the open market.

Miami would be interesting. Bringing back Andrew Wiggins, who was vital to the 2022 championship and thrived in the very role Kuminga doesn't want to play, would put Golden State closer to the top tier of contention. White, however, is the guy who would put them over the top.

Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors are locked in an ideological game of chicken about his future with the team, and it doesn't look like the young player has any plans of backing down. Anthony Slater of the Athletic traveled to Cleveland to interview Kuminga (as the athlete wrapped up some offseason workouts) about his impending restricted free agency and also get his perspective on his own offseason saga.
