What are Warriors fans saying about Jonathan Kuminga’s $30m per year request

One of the main reasons the Warriors have been quiet this offseason is their struggle to agree on terms with Kuminga. Reports suggest he is seeking a $30 million deal from the team.

Those reports were backed up by NBA insider Marc Stein, who confirmed that Kuminga is looking for that kind of payday.

But how does Dub Nation feel about this? Most fans aren’t too keen on matching Kuminga’s price tag.

“That’s not happening,” one fan said. Another chimed in: “He’ll likely find it right next to Noah’s Ark.”

“He’s not worth that type of money,” a third added, while another commented, “Honestly, nobody even cares anymore.”

“Man, all this speculation and rumours are getting exhausting,” wrote another fan.

A lot of fans seem either fed up or simply do not see Kuminga as someone who deserves that kind of salary. For reference, he put up 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game last season.

Warriors’ offseason stalls as contract talks with Jonathan Kuminga drag on

Even with the NBA’s rising salaries, Stephen Curry has been vocal about how the new CBA is built to limit top-end contracts. Kuminga seems to be holding a similar stance, standing firm in negotiations with Golden State.

The Warriors’ quiet offseason can largely be traced back to their ongoing standoff with Kuminga. Until there is resolution, it’s tough for the front office to make any meaningful moves.

At this stage, a split might be best for both sides. As Austin Rivers noted recently, Golden State has not shown much interest in developing Kuminga into a featured piece of their future plans.

Kuminga also does not appear eager to tie himself long-term to a franchise that is not fully behind him. This isn’t an easy situation for either side.
