Kuminga chose this two-year deal over three years and $75M so he can maintain a higher level of control over his immediate future. The Warriors never wavered on team option frameworks. Now, both sides understand likelihood of exploring trades when Kuminga is eligible in January.
Through negotiations between Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Turner from July to September, Golden State ultimately increased its offer by a total of $8M in the two-year framework and guaranteed Kuminga approximately $15M more than his qualifying offer would have for this season.
