But as things have turned out, that hasn&rsquo;t been the case so far as Kuminga is still trying to find his place in the Steph Curry led <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/team\/golden-state-warriors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Golden State Warriors<\/a> team. In the last two seasons, Kuminga has shown a lot of improvement especially with the way he scores the ball in the paint. He has started to use his size and athleticism in ways we had not seen before, and what&rsquo;s more is that, he can improve even further.<\/p><p>However, the biggest problem for Kuminga&rsquo;s growth, arguably, has been Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr&rsquo;s, reluctance to play him in postseason games. This season, the Warriors took down the second seeded Houston Rockets from the playoffs, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals to play the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately for the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/team\/golden-state-warriors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Dubs<\/a>, we saw Steph Curry go down with an hamstring injury after playing just 13 minutes in game one. After the Curry injury, the Warriors stood no chance against the Timberwolves who took them down in just 5 games. <\/p><p>Kuminga started for just one game in the entire postseason this year, but was amazing against the Timberwolves, as he dropped at least 20 or more points in three straight games. While he has a tremendous upside, if his development continues to be the priority, will he stay with the Warriors? Let&rsquo;s find out more.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Steve Kerr on if Jonathan Kuminga returns to Golden State: <br><br>\"If JK comes back, we will for sure spend the early part of the season playing him with Jimmy, Draymond, Steph.

Kuminga will be one of the vital points of the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/team\/golden-state-warriors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Warriors<\/a>&lsquo; offseason decisions, as his future is currently at the forefront. According to Bleacher Report&rsquo;s Jake Fischer, Kuminga rejected a five-year $150 million contract extension prior to the 2024-25 season. This decision of his could lead to a major roster shakeup for the Warriors, who are already constrained with limited cap space.<\/p><p>The Warriors&rsquo; offer to Kuminga reportedly aligned with what was offered to other young stars like Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks, and Jalen Suggs of the Orlando Magic. Kuminga, however, believed that he could outperform their market value, aiming to prove his value to the Dubs or the other teams. Because of the gamble, his return to the Warriors is highly unlikely, as his demands exceeds what the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/team\/golden-state-warriors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Warriors<\/a> are willing to pay. Now that the Warriors lost in the second round and have acquired Jimmy Butler, it may just be a matter of time before Kuminga is moved.<\/p><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/team\/golden-state-warriors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Warriors <\/a>are in a tough spot currently, as restricted free agent, Kuminga, situation only seems to worsen with time. They are unlikely to match a high offer from another team, and sign-and-trade could be the only option going forward. The Warriors need decent forwards and size, as this was exposed by the Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs. However, Kuminga&rsquo;s lofty expectations for a huge contract, could complicate negotiations, which could limit trade options. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors are expected to &ldquo;explore sign-and-trade&rdquo; scenarios, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/anthonyVslater?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@anthonyVslater<\/a>.<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThompsonScribe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@ThompsonScribe<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aE0xXLxGbV\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/aE0xXLxGbV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LegionHoops\/status\/1923046317959344516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The best course, according to us, is to trade Kuminga away and retool around Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry to maximize their championship window.
