Kuminga sounds like he’s ready to leave the Warriors, but there have been a litany of complications to get him to a new NBA team. While he could just sign an offer sheet with a team, the Warriors have the ability to match the contract and retain him, so signing the offer sheet likely would keep him in Golden State.

The initial belief that inspired the Golden State Warriors to make Jonathan Kuminga the No. 7 pick of the 2021 NBA draft has surely been shaken across his four uneven seasons together.

The Golden State Warriors have been linked with Al Horford since free agency started a few days ago. The former Boston Celtics center, a 39-year old All-Star and NBA champion, could be a big pickup in the Bay Area. But a deal hasn't gotten done yet, and there might be a Warriors-related reason: Jonathan Kuminga.
