Speaking with Andscape&rsquo;s Marc Spears, the 21-year-old forward said he sought advice from stars like Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler as his contract talks grew increasingly tense.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I spoke to Buddy. I spoke to Draymond. I spoke to Jimmy. I spoke to Steph. All of them. I had 20-plus types of conversations about how contracts work, how to feel about certain things. They were teaching me certain things,&rdquo; Kuminga said.<\/p><p>Over the summer, Kuminga found himself in a standoff with the Warriors. He believed he had earned a deal worth $30 million per year, with a player option for the final season. But after months of back-and-forth, he eventually settled on a new agreement in October, one that didn&rsquo;t fully meet his original expectations.<\/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 on how his teammates helped with his contract decision:<br><br>&ldquo;The one thing I really appreciate is my teammates, I never heard one of them call me and tell me, &lsquo;Yo, hurry up and do this.&rsquo; &hellip; I spoke to Buddy, Draymond, Jimmy &amp; Steph, all of them&hellip;.

What mattered more to him was securing control over his future. He wanted flexibility to become a free agent in 2026, but the structure of the deal kept that out of reach. As talks dragged on, he leaned on veterans who had been through similar situations.<\/p><p>&ldquo;We had a [players] team camp out there in San Diego. I did not go,&rdquo; Kuminga said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s when I had to speak to Jimmy and tell him how things were going.
