The Golden State Warriors are expected to see an end to the Jonathan Kuminga saga next week, as the deadline to accept or decline the qualifying offer is set for Wednesday, October 1st.
While we can expect the leaguewide total to hover at or near 90 for much of the regular season, many teams have yet to fill all of their two-way slots for the 2025-26 campaign.
With just 10 players on their 2025-2026 roster at the end of July, the Golden State Warriors have a lot of work to do over the next few months. While several marquee names are still available in free agency, the Warriors have to consider bringing back versatile guard Taran Armstrong after a strong showing in the 2025 NBA Summer League.
Taran Armstrong has reportedly added 17 pounds of muscle since joining the Warriors in February. We can safely assume it’s 50 percent Vegemite. There’s a training camp ritual that NBA observers look forward to.
Basketball originated as a distinctly American game. It had international roots, though, as the game's inventor, James Naismith, was Canadian. In the years since, the NBA has been flooded with league-defining international talent.
The Warriors have issued qualifying offers to three players, making them restricted free agents, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. That trio includes forward Jonathan Kuminga, one of this summer’s most intriguing young free agents.
A few weeks after the NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors continue to make roster moves, with their most recent one being a huge surprise. The Warriors reached overseas to get an Australian point guard out of the NBL, signing 23-year-old Taran Armstrong to a two-way contract.
